Description
Rogers (law, U. of Kentucky), a judge for the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, et al. offer a casebook for law students that focuses on cases (with a minimum of commentary) and the principles underlying core doctrines in administrative law, and is structured by its fundamental components: procedural requirements for agency adjudication and agency rulemaking, separation-of-powers issues related to administrative agencies, and judicial review of agency action. It includes problems for students to test their understanding of principles.

Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and Talk America, Inc. v. Michigan Bell Telephone Co., as well as National Cable & Telecommunications Ass'n v. Brand X Internet Services. Notes have been revised to address how the Obama Administration has used presidential signing statements and revised Office of Management and Budget review of rulemaking. Questions and notes for students have been added throughout to reflect decisions in cases like American Elec. Power Co. v. Connecticut, Milner v. Department of the Navy, FCC v. Fox Television Stations, Inc., Mayo Foundation for Medical Educ. and Research v. United States, New Process Steel v. NLRB, Arizona Christian School Tuition Org. v. Winn, and Thompson v.
