Overview
In this new edition, author Steven J. Cann once again enlivens the topic of United States administrative law through the use of recent and "classic" legal cases to make it accessible and interesting to students. Administrative Law, Fourth Edition is an engaging casebook that presents a unique problem-solving framework that contrasts democracy with the administrative state. This novel approach places the often complex subject matter of U.S. administrative law into a more comprehensible context. The Fourth Edition has been completely updated and revised and includes many new cases to reflect changes in the law since the year 2000.
Synopsis
A textbook for an undergraduate course that presents a problem-solving approach within a framework that contrasts democracy with the administrative state, explained as one in which significant policy is made by insulated technocrats and bureaucrats. The third edition incorporates cases since 1997.
