| Administrative Law | #3130 Section 1 |
| Professor |
Richard Murphy |
| Required Text |
Koch, ADMINISTRATIVE LAW, 5th ed. |
| Instructions |
First week's assignments: Tues., Jan. 15: Read CB at 1-9 quickly (you don't need to memorize, for instance, what the various described agencies do). Then read CB at 9-31. Be prepared, based on these materials, to discuss actively: a) the law of DeShaney; and b) your views of the appropriate role of the state in regulating how we live our lives. Thur., Jan. 17: CB at 41-58 (through note 7; note 8 is optional).
This reading is not easy. It is also longer than it looks as, to tackle the problem at 42-43, you will need to begin familiarizing yourself with our fake statute at the end of the book, the WTCA. Be prepared for detailed discussion of Schor and the problem. (If you don't wish to commit to this sort of active work, now would be a very good time to drop the course!) |
