Administrative Law and Regulatory Policy Problems Text and Cases 9th Edition Stephen G. Breyer ISBN 9781543825824

The Ninth Edition of Administrative Law and Regulatory Policy: Problems, Text, and Cases delivers a streamlined, modern update to a casebook long recognized for its intellectual rigor, breadth of coverage, and commitment to placing administrative procedure within real-world regulatory debates. While preserving the comprehensive and contextual approach that has made the book a mainstay in the field, the latest edition reflects careful revision to enhance clarity, accessibility, and pedagogical value.

This edition continues to feature outstanding authorship and a diverse range of carefully selected materials, including leading cases, commentary, and thought-provoking problems. It explores how administrative law shapes—and is shaped by—key policy areas, offering students a grounded understanding of both procedural mechanics and substantive stakes. Extensive notes and questions help explain complex doctrines while encouraging critical reflection and classroom dialogue.

What’s New in the Ninth Edition:

• A complete update of case law, notes, and questions to reflect the latest legal developments.
• A more streamlined and accessible design—despite expanded coverage, the book is shorter than the Eighth Edition.
• Coverage of recent landmark Supreme Court decisions, including:
  • Gundy v. United States (nondelegation)
  • Lucia v. SEC (appointments clause and officers of the U.S.)
  • Seila Law LLC v. CFPB (presidential removal authority)
  • Oil States Energy Services v. Greene’s Energy Group (constitutionality of agency adjudication)
  • Kisor v. Wilkie (Auer deference reconsidered)
  • DHS v. Regents of the University of California (DACA rescission and arbitrary and capricious review)
  • Department of Commerce v. New York (pretext in agency decision-making)
  • Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania (interim final rulemaking)

Highlights and Benefits:

• Comprehensive treatment of the core processes of rulemaking and adjudication.
• In-depth analysis of evolving doctrines, including Chevron and Auer deference and the nondelegation principle.
• Balanced attention to both doctrinal development and the normative justifications (and criticisms) of regulatory practice.
• Problem sets that test student comprehension and foster applied learning.
• A new companion website offering:
  • Supplementary assignments and materials, including an introductory case study and enforcement exercises.
  • Access to real-world agency documents, such as rulemaking notices, FOIA materials, and complaints.
  • Curated links to relevant online resources and agency sites.
  • Visual content and updates on emerging statutes, decisions, and administrative developments.

This edition equips students to understand administrative law not only as a body of legal doctrine, but as a powerful tool that governs how modern government functions—and how it is challenged, interpreted, and reimagined.
