This interactive Legislation and Regulation casebook strives to make the subject easily teachable and readily accessible for students. Students have access to an electronic version of the book, which includes live hyperlinks and assessment questions at the end of each chapter. The author has selected the cases very carefully and provided extensive excerpts of the opinions so that students get a good sense of the courts' reasoning. Text boxes call the students' attention to important aspects of each opinion, and the book is filled with introductions, points for discussion, hypothetical problems, and competing perspectives on controversial questions. The casebook includes material about both statutory interpretation and administrative law. The second edition includes new cases on the major questions doctrine, new text boxes, and new note material.

This title utilizes the CasebookPlus™ platform. Anchored by faculty-authored formative self-assessments, CasebookPlus allows students to test their understanding of core concepts as they are learning them in class with quizzes keyed to each chapter, subject area review quizzes, and helpful explanations.
