This groundbreaking book, penned by two esteemed scholars in the field of administrative law, presents a novel perspective on administrative law by shifting its focus towards the realm of public administration. Through a comprehensive interdisciplinary, historical, and doctrinal analysis, Fisher and Shapiro elucidate the significance of understanding both the capacity and authority of expert public administration in ensuring the legitimacy and accountability of the administrative state. In response to the current state of administrative law, which they perceive as precarious, they advocate for a fresh study of the administrative process, which would be spearheaded by an Attorney Generals Committee on Administrative Procedure. This initiative would ultimately result in a revised Administrative Procedure Act (APA). This book is an essential read for anyone with an interest in administrative law and its transformative potential.
