LAW 7002 - Administrative Law

Institution:

Villanova University

Subject:

Description:

Description: The bulk of the modern practice of law is the practice of administrative law, the body of substantive and procedural law developed over the last century to remedy perceived inadequacies in traditional legal and judicial process. Through a close study of the Administrative Procedure Act of 1946, which provides the overall statutory structure of the modern administrative state, and the controlling precedent interpreting it, the course will develop familiarity with the fundamental administrative procedures of "rulemaking" and "adjudication." The course will emphasize both the practical functioning of administrative agencies in the web of government and the constitutional and other structural limits on the administrative state. The course will emphasize the ways in which agencies are different from courts and legislatures but, at least potentially, not subversive of the rule-of-law ideal. The course will develop multiple critical perspectives on the history, philosophy, and direction of the regulatory state in a constitutional democracy. 3.00credit(s) Restrictions: Must be enrolled in one of the following Levels: Law School
