The Regulatory Review is an online, daily publication devoted to coverage of regulatory news, analysis, and commentary. It is produced under the auspices of the Penn Program on Regulation and operated by students at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. The Regulatory Review's content includes essays produced by the publication's staff members as well as regular contributions from scholars, public officials, attorneys, and others interested in regulatory developments.
History
The Regulatory Review dates to 2009, when it was originally known as RegBlog. At that time, University of Pennsylvania Law School Professor Cary Coglianese placed a blogging component on the website of the Penn Program on Regulation (PPR)."Penn Program on Regulation". Penn Program on Regulation. Retrieved 9 March 2017. Coglianese named the blog "RegBlog"—a name intended to convey the blog's purpose as a platform devoted to coverage of regulation. The blog's content initially comprised occasional short posts about regulatory news items and other related developments.
Content was added to the site on an intermittent basis, until then-Penn Law student Jonathan Mincer presented a plan to create a student-run infrastructure based around the regular production of content. After that student-run organization became active, a new website was constructed for RegBlog that no longer relied on the stock blog functionality that had been built into the initial PPR website. RegBlog's new site was launched in April 2011, which marked the beginning of RegBlog as a publication in a form similar to what The Regulatory Review is today, featuring new content every weekday of the year.Mincer, Jonathan (2016-5-5). "The Student Side of RegBlog". The Regulatory Review. Retrieved 9 March 2017.
A subsequent redesign of the RegBlog website was carried out in November 2013, an undertaking that involved placing RegBlog onto a new platform and giving it the graphical look that it retained until another redesign in March 2017.
This most recent redesign was part of a larger initiative by the members of RegBlog's 2016–2017 Editorial Board under the leadership of former editor-in-chief Kim Kirschenbaum. This initiative also included changing the publication's name in March 2017 from RegBlog to The Regulatory Review.Kirschenbaum, Kim (2017-3-3). "From RegBlog to The Regulatory Review".
