Features: The purpose of writing this book is to meet the needs of learning and teaching foreign administrative law. Administrative law textbooks published in the United States, which are aligned with the teaching methods of U.S. law schools, mostly adopt a case-based system, are highly practical, and are suitable for training judges and lawyers. However, they do not meet the needs of China's teaching. The purpose of Chinese students studying U.S. administrative law is to focus on researching the U.S. administrative system, with a broader perspective than that of case law. As a system, the administrative system cannot ignore the study of case law. Nevertheless, as a branch of law, administrative law must have a theoretical system. The research object of administrative law cannot be limited to the scope of case law. Although many administrative law textbooks in the United States do not adopt a case-based system, their content has not completely broken free from the constraints of case law and has not established a theoretical system of administrative law. Of course, the United States is a common law country, and without case law in administrative law, it is impossible to have important principles of administrative law. For this reason, although this book does not adopt a case-based system, it still cites a large number of administrative law cases. Citing administrative law cases does not mean that it is necessary to adopt a case-based system, which restricts the scope of research. From the perspective of comparative law, the United Kingdom is also a common law country, and although France is a civil law country, in terms of administrative law, it is also a common law country.
