Links and Resources


In General

Far and away the most useful general 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 covers 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 and links to the legislative history and administrative materials, and a bibliography.

The Sourcebook’s overviews for the statutes set out in the casebook Appendices are linked below, along with the full text of those statutes of which only excerpts appear in the casebook and a few other odds and ends.
