MSCI 695 - Administrative Law

As required Credits: (3-4) Law School Staff

Administrative law establishes the legal controls over the operation of government and hence it relates to almost every legal practice, from security regulation to social programs to criminal justice. This course is an introductory examination of the rules and procedures of government federal agencies. It explores: (1) the Constitutional background and limitations on agency action, (2) the procedural requirements (from various sources) that an agency must follow, and (3) the doctrines of judicial review that apply whenever a court evaluates agency decisions. Cross-listed with LAW 453.
