Administrative
or regulatory law is created by government agencies such as the Federal Trade
Commission or Department of Labor. These agencies have the power to act on the
government's behalf, making and enforcing rules that federal and state
government agencies are required to follow. The president and executive branch
also issue rules that are part of administrative law.
The Federal Administrative Procedure Act
outlines the requirements for transparency and how to conduct a range of federal
agency procedures, including how to advertise, hold hearings and meetings,
grant licenses, resolve disputes, impose sanctions (disciplinary actions), form
committees, and make rules and decisions. If an administrative agency passes
new rules that you have questions about, an administrative law lawyer can help
you.
