Learning Legislation and Regulation is an accessible introduction to the study of how legislatures and regulatory agencies in the United States make law, and the interplay between those lawmaking institutions and the U.S. judicial system. It is designed for first-year law students but is appropriate for any introductory course about the lawmaking processes of representative government. The book provides a rich sense of the complex and evolving relationships between the three branches of American government – Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. It is structured around a series of realistic and engaging problems involving statutes and regulations that invite readers to apply statutory provisions or regulations to a set of facts on their own, before exploring how courts or agencies treated those same or similar problems. Throughout the book, the authors have embedded notes, comments, and questions that enrich and reinforce the principal text in user-friendly ways. The book provides a complete introduction to the fundamentals of what lawyers need to know about statutory interpretation by agencies and courts, how agencies promulgate regulations, and the law of the political process, including how elected representatives are elected and how agencies are organized, in order to consider the impact of these structural arrangements on how government officials perform their lawmaking functions.
