About the Authors
  • This book, by two of the world's leading administrative law scholars, reimagines administrative law as the law of public administration by making its competence the focus of administrative law. Grounded in extensive interdisciplinary, historical, and doctrinal analysis, Fisher and Shapiro show why understanding both the capacity and authority of expert public administration is crucial to ensure the legitimacy and accountability of the administrative state. To address the current precarious state of administrative law, they support a new study of the administrative process by an Attorney Generals Committee on Administrative Procedure leading to a revised Administrative Procedure Act (APA). This book is a must-read for anyone interested in administrative law and its reform.

    • Presents a provocative argument for reimagining administrative law to encourage critical thinking among administrative scholars and lawyers
    • Addresses the institutional, historical and doctrinal aspects of administrative law to show readers how they need to think in different ways about administrative law
    • Sets out a framework for the reform of administrative teaching and practice to create a set of practical steps that can be taken to improve administrative law

    '... the book acts as a bridge between legal thought, administrative expertise, and the fiery rhetoric of politics ... I am pleased to recommend the book, which would be appropriate to assign for administrative law and regulation classes in MPA curricula.' Christopher L. Atkinson, Public Organization Review
