Administrative Law - the American Public Law System, Cases and Materials

The Fifth Edition of this path-breaking course book maintains the organization familiar to its many users. Following an introduction to the history, institutional context and theory of administrative law, students are exposed to four main topics: the political control of administration by Congress and the Executive Branch; formal agency processes for lawmaking; adjudication and rulemaking; government access to and required disclosure of information; and judicial remedies for official illegality. Doctrinal analysis is enriched by case studies of the law in action in particular administrative contexts and attention to the deregulatory and devolutionary trends that are reshaping American Administrative Law.
