LGST 2220

This course examines important legal limitations that are imposed on those who exercise governmental power. Particular attention will be paid to the requirement that administrative decision making be procedurally fair, and that any exercise of administrative authority must be within the boundaries of the law. The course will also examine the mechanisms and remedies that are available where persons believe these requirements have not been met, with particular attention paid to the power of judicial review. To further illustrate administrative law principles in practice, the course will examine specific areas of law where administrative law principles play a central role, including human rights law and immigration law.
