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 the judicial decisions
interpreting them. 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.
