Rule Making and Administrative Law
Law to Fact
04/13/21 • 36 min
In this episode...
Professor Josh Galperin explains government rule-making authority and provides a broad overview of topics covered in administrative law.
Some key takeaways....
- Administrative law is the law that governs day-to-day government operations. It explains how federal agencies like the EPA, FDA, or SEC get authority to act, restrictions on their actions, and judicial review of their work.
- Agencies make rules, adjudicate disputes, enforce law, and offer policy guidance.
- Rules are prospective and general policymaking while adjudication is case-by-case, fact-oriented dispute resolution.
- Guidance is the process, short of making official rules, where agencies make non-binding predictions about how they expect to exercise their power.

In the Fall of 2021, Prof. Galperin will join the Elisabeth Haub School of Law as an Assistant Professor of Law.
