Mila Sohoni

Work Sohoni is known for her work on the major questions doctrine, which she has said "looms over any big agency action that the administration wants to do" and "allows courts a great deal of leeway to pick and choose which agency actions to strike down and which to sustain".

Her scholarship has also been important to the legal debate over universal injunctions and over whether the Administrative Procedure Act allows courts to vacate a regulation universally or only as to its application to parties challenging it. In The Lost History of the "Universal" Injunction, Sohoni identified Lewis Publishing Co. v. Morgan (1913) as a universal injunction issued by the Supreme Court much earlier than the first examples critics had identified from the 1960s. According to Professor Doug Rendelman, she "applied scrupulous research to refute the national government injunction's critics' arguments that the 'traditional' view was that an injunction 'benefitted' only the party plaintiff and that the national government injunction is a recent innovation". As to universal vacatur, Justice Brett Kavanaugh has agreed with Sohoni's view, citing her article The Power To Vacate a Rule.

Personal life Sohoni is married to Christopher Egleson, a partner at the law firm Sidley Austin.
