Administrative Law: Cases and Materials is the product of a longstanding collaboration by a distinguished group of authors, each with extensive experience in the teaching, scholarship, and practice of administrative law. The Ninth Edition preserves the book’s distinctive features of functional organization and extensive use of case studies, with no sacrifice in doctrinal comprehensiveness or currency. By organizing over half of the book under the generic administrative functions of policymaking, adjudication, enforcement, and licensing, the book illuminates the common features of diverse administrative practices and the interconnection of otherwise disparate doctrines. Scattered throughout the book, case studies present leading judicial decisions in their political, legal, institutional, and technical context, thereby providing the reader with a much fuller sense of the reality of administrative practice and the important policy implications of seemingly technical legal doctrines. At the same time, the Ninth Edition fully captures the headline-grabbing nature of federal administrative practice in today’s politically divided world.

New to the 9th Edition:

  • Extensive coverage of the Major Questions Doctrine and the decline of Chevron
  • Expanded coverage of presidential policy initiatives including Executive Orders on immigration and Student Loan Debt Forgiveness.
  • Updated coverage of standing to secure judicial review and the timing of judicial review especially when a party challenges an agency’s structure as unconstitutional.
  • Updated coverage of the agency deliberation exception to the Freedom of Information Act.
  • A new focus on issues concerning the propriety of agency adjudication and the denial of the right to a jury in private rights disputes.

 

Professors and students will benefit from:

  • The “case study” approach illuminates the background policy and organizational context of many leading cases.
  • The functional organization of materials in Part Two enables instructors to show how doctrinal issues are shaped by functional context.
  • The theoretical material presented at the beginning of the book provides a useful template for probing issues throughout the course.
  • The book is designed to be easily adaptable for use as an advanced course and in schools that have a first-year Legislation and Regulation course, especially with enhanced coverage of recurring issues that arise in agency adjudications.
  • The units are organized so that many class sessions can focus on a single leading case, reducing the problem of “factual overload” that characterizes many administrative law courses.
  • The case study approach helps students understand the context within which doctrinal issues arise and the way in which those issues affect important matters of public policy.
  • The organization of Part Two conveys a deeper understanding of the characteristic functions performed by administrative agencies.

Colin Diver
President (retired)
Reed College

Reed's 14th president, Colin S. Diver, came to Reed during a challenging time for small colleges. A national focus on enhancing vocational training and technology-based learning was contesting the very foundations of a liberal arts education. In addition, during Diver's tenure, the country experienced the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Nonetheless, Diver's insistence that the college stay true to its historic role as a community of scholars and font of innovation inspired a time of great progress, increased national recognition, and financial stability for the college. Upon his retirement from Reed after a decade of service, Reed's board of trustees stated that Diver had, in the years leading up to the college's centennial, inspired the Reed community 'to see and love the college anew.'

Diver came to Reed from the University of Pennsylvania, where he served as the Charles A. Heimbold Jr. Professor of Law and Economics and, before that, as dean of the law school. He holds a law degree from Harvard and served as a faculty member at Boston University School of Law and as a visiting professor at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. He held posts with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and with the Mayor's office in Boston and has been a member of the executive committee of the Harvard Law School Visiting Committee, a trustee of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and a trustee of Amherst College, where he received the honorary degree Doctor of Laws in 1990.

Jack M. Beermann
Professor of Law
Boston University

Jack Beermanns scholarship focuses on administrative law and civil rights litigation against state and local governments and their officials. Professor Beermann is co-author, with Ronald Cass and Colin Diver, on a widely used administrative law casebook. His articles have appeared in prominent American journals such as the Supreme Court Review, Stanford Law Review, UCLA Law Review, Duke Law Journal and Boston University Law Review, and in foreign law journals including Germany's Rechtstheorie and China's Administrative Law Review. Recent articles include 'Congressional Administration' in the San Diego Law Review and 'The Constitutional Law of Presidential Transitions' in the North Carolina Law Review. In 1998, he co-authored an article that examined civil rights violations in the popular television drama NYPD Blue. Before joining the Boston University faculty in 1984, Professor Beermann clerked for Judge Richard Cudahy of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. In 2008, he was visiting professor at Harvard Law School, and in 1997, he was distinguished visiting professor at DePaul Law School. In 2004, 2005, and 2007, he taught at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, Israel, and in 2002, he taught at the China University of Political Science and Law in Beijing. He has lectured in Israel, Germany, Australia, Morocco, Portugal, and Canada. At BU, Professor Beermann currently teaches administrative law, civil rights litigation, introduction to American law (for foreign LLM students), and local government law. In his spare time, Professor Beermann is a certified baseball umpire and a youth baseball and basketball coach.
