, To the Instructor
Administrative law is the field of law that defines the powers, limitations, and procedures
of administrative agencies. Administrative law covers the constitutional and procedural
dimensions of governmental agencies, including delegation, rulemaking, adjudications,
investigations, freedom of information, liabilities of governments and their employees,
judicial review, and other considerations, such as the concept of fairness. Students should
develop a knowledge of administrative agencies and the laws that govern their behavior.
Recent judicial opinions, pending legislation, and news stories can be used as helpful
examples. This instructor’s manual supplements the material in the text and serves as a
guide for lesson plans and teaching the material.
