Administrative agencies play an important role in determining individual's legal entitlements and duties. This course is concerned with the role of agencies in the constitutional structure and their operations. With respect to constitutional structure it will cover legislative delegation of authority to agencies, agency adjudication of disputes that arise under federal law, executive appointment and removal power, and the legislative veto. With respect to the operations of agencies the course will explore the way in which the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and other sources of law regulate and structure the authority of agencies to determine the rights and responsibilities of the public. The topics will include procedures for agency rulemaking and adjudication, the choice between rule-making and adjudication, and judicial review of agency action.
