Administrative law is the study of how government works. Federal, state and local agencies are involved in virtually every facet of law and life. Administrative law shows not only what law is but what it does. Much of the practice of law revolves around administrative law requirements and principles.
Modern Administrative Law explains what the law is, and how law is made and implemented. This book focuses on the most salient doctrines and developments of administrative law, including federalism, congressional authority, executive authority, rulemaking, adjudication, and judicial review. The book is self-contained, including statutes, regulations, constitutional provisions, and cases.
Modern Administrative Law is an up-to-the-minute account of legal and practical developments. It reflects the U.S. Supreme CourtÕs current administrative law decisions, including important cases decided in the 2022-23 Term about everything from student loan forgiveness to immigration policies to constitutional standing to the emerging Òmajor questions doctrineÓ (e.g., Biden v. Nebraska; Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency; Texas v. U.S., etc.). It reflects dynamic changes in both the U.S. Supreme Court and of societyÕs impatience with the administrative state.
