LGLS 4070U – Public Governance through Law


This course focuses on the regulatory dimensions of the administrative state and how policy becomes law. Through a series of in-depth case studies, classical concepts in and contemporary theories of public administration are explored. Students will examine principles of social ordering such as legislation, adjudication, contract and negotiation as applied in practice. Students will have the opportunity to develop skills of statutory construction, to widen their knowledge of the institutional and process features of the contemporary administrative state and deepen their understanding of contemporary governance challenges and the ways in which law may be drawn upon to meet such challenges.
