Description

Administrative Law  6th Edition  John M. Rogers ISBN 9798892072557

Administrative Law, Sixth Edition—authored by Judge John M. Rogers, Michael P. Healy, Ronald Krotoszynski, Jr., and Kent Barnett—is a streamlined, case-driven casebook designed for professors who prefer to teach directly from judicial opinions and to emphasize the principles underlying core administrative-law doctrines.

The book is organized around four foundational components of the field: (1) procedural requirements for agency adjudication; (2) procedural requirements and other issues related to rulemaking; (3) separation-of-powers constraints on administrative agencies; and (4) judicial review of agency action. With minimal editorial commentary, the text allows the cases to speak for themselves, giving both professors and students the opportunity to extract and synthesize the principles in their own way.

For instructors who favor a case-oriented approach, the Sixth Edition offers a rich collection of lightly edited opinions that preserve the feel of full judicial decisions, including facts, reasoning, and citations. Keystone cases highlight central themes, while introductory materials and post-case questions guide student preparation and spark discussion.

Notes help clarify doctrinal developments, introduce academic commentary, and highlight emerging issues. “Theory Applied” sections at the end of major parts allow instructors to assess student understanding by placing doctrines into fresh factual and legal contexts. Designed for a three-unit course, the book’s modular parts can be taught in any order.
