From
the Section Chair.... 
As many of you already
know, within the past few weeks the Section has lost two of its
leaders, Council member Tom Sargentich, and former Section chair and
member of the ABA House of Delegates, Ernie Gellhorn. They both
cared deeply about improving the law and making our government work
effectively for all of its citizens. They both always exhibited the
highest standards of professionalism. And, as importantly, each was
a wonderful colleague and friend to all in the Section privileged to
know them.
Even while we mourn the
loss of Ernie and Tom, we continue ahead with the activities of the
Section to which both were so devoted. After enjoying a very
successful first annual Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice
Institute in early April and a stimulating and sociable Spring
meeting in early May, we already have four new lunch programs
scheduled in the next month. Please take a look at the program links
below, along with our annual meeting plans in Chicago, our new book
releases, and other activities.
I know we will miss both
Tom Sargentich and Ernie Gellhorn greatly--but I also know they were
proud of what we are accomplishing in the Ad Law Section, and that
they would want us to do even more and to do it even better. Please
join us in that endeavor.

in performance.
All government lawyers active in the fields

will be considered.
All nominations should include the candidate's
name and period of government service, the departments
or agencies in which he or she has served and is currently
serving, and the specific contributions of the nominee
that you think warrant his or her selection. A

for Scholarship in Administrative Law. The Committee

piece: publications that are well written, informative,
and develop new ideas but not difficult to read;
tightly reasoned, with a clear analysis that does
not detour from development of the main thesis of
the argument; broadly applicable to at least several
programs or issues; provide a new and timely insight
into a current issue of administrative law; provide
a new theoretical construct that will aid in the understanding
or development of administrative law or develop a
practical recommendation for solving a problem of
administrative law; and contain a minimum of repetition
