SLAS 6006 Administrative Law
This course examines the role of administrative law and procedures in American Politics. The course examines the role of the state and the federal bureaucracy in determining who wins and who loses in American Politics. If we want to achieve a public policy goal but do not understand administrative law and procedure we will not be successful. And, if we understand administrative law and procedure we will be are at an advantage in accomplishing our goals. Many citizens, however, do not understand or are aware of the political struggles that take place after a law is passed or a court decision is rendered. These kinds of struggles and the ground rules under which they are waged are the subject matter of this course.
