What is Administrative Law? [No. 86]

What kind of legal authority do federal executive branch agencies have? Professor Susan Dudley gives an overview of the field of Administrative Law, which deals with this question. Administrative Law studies how executive branch agencies interpret, and administer, and enforce, legislation that has been delegated to them from Congress. She discusses some of the responsibilities these agencies have in practice.

Susan Dudley is director of the George Washington University Regulatory Studies Center and distinguished professor of practice in the Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration.

As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speaker.
