The Statement is expected to take two years to complete. It will be formatted to resemble the Restatements of Law published by the American Law Institute, and like the Restatements will rely substantially on the use of illustrations as a means of clarifying stated principles. The chief reporter is Paul R. Verkuil, dean of the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York. Dean Verkuil believes the time is ripe for such a pro- ject: The APA occupies a significant position in feder- al administrative procedure, but it is over 50 years old, and some of its centralizing functions have eroded. The project has been divided into five topical categories: adjudication, rulemaking, judicial review, information access and policy, and agency management/regulatory reform. The first panel addressed adjudication. Other panels will address the remaining topics at future Section meetings. The adjudication panel presented and discussed several draft papers circulated at the meeting and avail- able on the Section's website: http://www. abanet.org/admin- law/apa/drafts.html Michael R. Asi- mow, Professor of Law, UCLA School of Law, presented a paper on separation of functions and offered some general observations about the conventions he believes should be observed in preparing the Statement. For example, he advo- cates citing attorney- general opinions where there is no contrary case law and citing literature where case law is controversial.
