Title overview

Administrative Law provides a plain-language survey of the laws governing administrative agencies. It examines administrative law in the context of accountability and preventing governmental abuse of power. With thorough, yet accessible coverage, the text looks at the authorities held by administrative agencies, how agencies are kept accountable, and the existing and potential constraints on agency authority, both constitutional and otherwise.

The 7th Edition includes new laws and cases and addresses contemporary challenges confronting the administrative state. In analyzing case excerpts, you'll learn to think critically about the issues and controversies of administrative law, while gaining practical insight you can apply as a professional.
