Links and Resources


In General

Far and away the most useful overview resource for federal administrative law statutes is the Administrative Law Sourcebook published by the Administrative Conference of the United States and the ABA’s Section of Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice. The Sourcebook includes 21 different statutes, including but obviously not limited to those set out in the Appendices to the casebook. For each, the Sourcebook not only links to (or, in the hard copy version, sets out) the full text, but also provides a summary of its provisions, discussion of the legislative history, and a bibliography. The overviews for the statutes set out in the casebook Appendices are linked below.

Appendix A — The U.S. Constitution

Appendix B — The Administrative Procedure Act
