Online Administrative Law

This course is required for US students unless taken as a JD and highly recommended for international students.

Taught by Professor Nick Fromherz
(3 credits) Law 100-OL

Administrative law is the law relating to administrative agencies. It includes constitutional law (especially separation of powers and procedural due process), federal statutory law (especially the Administrative Procedure Act), and state statutory law. The validity of government agencies’ actions depends on compliance with administrative law. Thus, lawyers for agencies, regulated industries, and public interest groups are vitally concerned with administrative law. This course uses a problem orientation to stress practical application of administrative law.

Course evaluation will be based on a combination of class participation and a final exam. Students will be expected to view the class videos and participate in the discussion boards in the time frames allotted.
