Are you looking for an additional way to stay on top of developments in administrative law? Well, you’re in luck! The ABA Section of Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice just released its seventeenth edition of Developments in Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice, covering developments in the field during the 2015 calendar year. The paperback, now available for purchase, includes engaging chapters on the four core administrative process topics covered in the Section’s annual Administrative Law Conference program: Adjudication, Constitutional Law and Separation of Powers, Judicial Review, and Rulemaking. The eBook, also available on the ABA’s website, includes these four chapters and three additional on Government Information and Privacy, Education, and Intergovernmental Relations. Section members can download this latest edition of Developments for free and order hard copies for a nominal price from the links on the Section’s website.

Like in years past, all chapters in the 2015 edition provide thorough analysis and keen insight into these interesting areas of administrative and regulatory law. Our contributing authors this year include:
