Cases and Materials on Legislation and Regulation: Statutes and the Creation of Public Policy 6th Edition

The  Sixth Edition offers a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the  vital field of legislation and regulation. It addresses efforts by  President Trump to curtail the powers of the administrative state, and  new Supreme Court decisions reviewing challenges to these efforts under  the Constitution and the Administrative Procedure Act. In addition, the  Sixth Edition expands its celebrated treatment of statutory  interpretation, examining recent debates among textualists, legal  process advocates, and pragmatists about future directions of  interpretation in a post-Scalia era. The new edition also creates  separate chapters addressed to intrinsic interpretive doctrines  (dictionaries and canons) and extrinsic doctrines (the common law,  legislative background, and other statutes), with each chapter  highlighting recent decisions by the Supreme Court. Finally, the Sixth  Edition includes important updates on the law of the legislative  process―notably developments addressed to equality in representation;  racial and national origin vote dilution; political gerrymandering; and  bribery of public officials. The Sixth Edition makes a uniquely rich  contribution to the field: it is perfect for 1L Legislation and  Legislation-Regulation (LegReg) courses, and it remains the go-to book  for upper level courses.
