About the Book
Written in an accessible, straightforward style, Administrative Law: A Casebook, Seventh Edition, focuses on the basic principles of administrative law to produce “practice-ready” students using a traditional cases-and-notes pedagogy, flexible organization, and examination-length problems at the end of each substantive chapter.
Among the attributes that have made this casebook a fixture in administrative law courses for more than three decades:
- Chronological approach illustrates the procedural course of administrative law in actual practice.
- Manageable, practical length—at approximately 800 pages, the book offers complete coverage in seven chapters.
- Broad range of state cases, both classic and recent.
- Flexible organization that begins with an overview of administrative law and its agencies and allows instructors to easily adapt the book to individual course needs.
- Balanced coverage that includes coverage of state law, giving students valuable exposure to the level where most administrative law issues are handled in practice, in addition to the standard treatment of federal law.
- Clear, accessible writing style that facilitates student learning.
- Excellent notes and explanatory material that have been refined through six editions.
New to the Seventh Edition, which preserves the successful approach of the late Bernard Schwartz:
- Updated treatment of deference doctrine and distinctions between legislative rules and other rules, including Long Island Care at Home v. Coke, Coeur Alaska, Inc. v. Southeast Alaska Conservation Council, Wyeth v. Levine, Paralyzed Veterans v. Sec'y of Veteran's Affairs, and Devon Energy Corp. v. Department of the Interior.
- New materials on Agency Nonacquiescence and Presidential removal authority.
- Recent important Supreme Court Cases, including Massachusetts v. EPA.
- New state administrative law cases.
- Refreshed chapter problems.
- Updated and revised Teacher’s Manual
Administrative Law: A Casebook is a time-proven nuts-and-bolts casebook aimed at producing “practice-ready” students. The seventh edition has been comprehensively updated while building on that solid foundation.
