Course Description:
Administrative law refers to the legal doctrines--a mixture of constitutional, statutory, regulatory and “common law” principles--that govern the structure, decision processes, and behavior of administrative agencies. A course in administrative law, therefore, addresses the following questions: (1) how and why legislative, judicial, and administrative powers are delegated to administrative agencies; (2) how agencies exercise their delegated powers, particularly through the processes of rule-making and adjudication; (3) what rights persons affected by agency decisions have to participate in the process of administrative decision making; (4) when and how aggrieved parties may seek judicial review of administrative decisions; and (5) what types of remedies against agency illegality or error reviewing courts may establish and enforce. These questions are relevant to the operation of both federal and state administrative agencies, and both federal and state administrative law will be covered in the course.
