Administrative Law for All at Yale!
Wednesday, we covered a controversy at Yale Law School over an Administrative Law class with an oversubscription problem. The course wound up with a waitlist of about 100 students. Some 3Ls who were denied admission into the class were quite upset, since this represented their last chance to take Admin Law. The situation was described to us as a "near riot." Yesterday morning, we brought you an update to this story -- which has a happy ending, we're pleased to report....

Re: New Section of Administrative Law
Date: January 25, 20
We are pleased to let you know that we are adding a third section of Administrative Law for Spring 2012. This section, taught by Professor Don Elliott, is open to all Yale Law School students; a minimum of fifteen students is required for the course to be offered but there is no maximum. The course will be taught on Friday, from 1:10 until 4 p.m., beginning this Friday, January 27. A full description is appended at the end of this notice and is also available in CISS. The section is now available for selection through WebSIS.
Professor Parrillo’s section remains exclusively for first-year students. Professor Ho’s section is for second and third-year students, is now closed, and we do not expect to offer places to any on the waiting list.

Administrative Law (21199). 3 units. There are vast areas of life in which much (often most) lawmaking and legal interpretation falls to administrative agencies, rather than to legislators and judges. Examples include environmental law, securities, telecommunications, and energy; the safety of food, drugs, cars, airplanes, and workplaces; public land use, advertising, immigration, election campaigns, and union organizing; and the distribution of all kinds of social welfare benefits. This course will introduce the legal and practical foundations of the administrative state, considering rationales for delegation to administrative agencies, procedural and substantive constraints on agency rulemaking and adjudication, judicial review of agency actions, and the relationship of agencies to Congress and the President. The course adopts a practical focus based on the instructor’s experience as General Counsel of the EPA as well as a practicing environmental lawyer. It is coordinated with the Environmental Law and Policy course but may be taken separately. Reading is generally more abbreviated than in the 4 credit courses. Note: This course will only be offered if a minimum of fifteen (15) students enroll. Self-scheduled examination. E.D. Elliott.
