This treatise sets forth a comprehensive analysis of administrative law in the United States. Administrative law continues to evolve in interesting ways in all of its various dimensions. The fundamental purposes of this book are to assess and explain fundamental doctrines of administrative law, placing some of the most important aspects of those doctrines in a historical context, and setting forth the current state of the law. The book is intended to serve practitioners, scholars and students of administrative law.

This book explores the statutory and historical setting of the cases presented, rather than mere doctrine. It examines lawyers’ judgments and tactics in detail. Students learn how disputes are handled at the administrative level, before they ever get to court – a perspective essential to understanding the field, but difficult to discern from the reported cases. The commentary also addresses how decisions can affect future developments, helping students understand how administrative disputes develop and the role lawyers play in developing them.
