Features: The cases selected in this series are all significant, many of which hold great historical importance. The book excerpts key parts of the cases, including facts, judges' reasoning, and the basis for the rulings. This not only helps readers quickly grasp the main points of the cases but also saves time on tedious searches and reviewing the original cases. The book also includes statutes and related materials, making it an indispensable learning reference for readers who lack access to original U.S. materials. This book is widely used as a teaching text for administrative law courses in top U.S. law schools such as Harvard and Yale, with authors being renowned professors with profound theoretical knowledge and extensive practical experience. The book covers traditional content of U.S. administrative law, such as the grant and exercise of administrative power, as well as judicial review of administrative rulings and its standards, while studying the interaction between substantive and procedural aspects and the functioning of bureaucratic and political factors. The fifth edition reflects recent developments and changes in administrative law, adding analytical cases and addressing hot topics such as the separation of powers, the scope of government regulations, and the characteristics of judicial review. It also incorporates new findings in risk management, cost-benefit analysis, and telecommunications regulation, along with updated material on tobacco management laws, non-delegated principles, and judicial review of administrative rulings concerning health, safety, and the environment.
