Course Description
Administrative agencies affect, in some way, almost every aspect of our daily lives: from the food we eat and water we drink; to the air we breathe; to the ease or frustration of our daily commutes. This course will provide an introduction to and overview of the legal and practical foundations of the modern administrative state. In this class, we will seek to understand the basic processes and functions by which public agencies exercise power: from rulemaking, to adjudication, to policymaking, as well as the limits on that power: from Constitutional principles, to executive and legislative oversight, to judicial review of agency action.
