Overview

The Seventh Edition offers a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the vital field of legislation and regulation. It expands and deepens the book's focus on how legislatures, agencies, and courts contribute to the creation of public policy. This edition includes new treatment of the Affordable Care Act, the Civil Rights Act, the Congressional Review Act, and other legislation. It covers recent executive orders and regulatory developments during the first Trump Administration and the Biden Administration. And it incorporates decisions by the Supreme Court, lower federal courts, and state courts addressing inter alia racial vote dilution; political gerrymandering; conflicts of interest; pragmatic and other theoretical approaches to statutory interpretation; language, structural, and substantive policy canons; the uses and value of legislative background/context; the nondelegation doctrine; agency implementation under the APA; and the Major Questions Doctrine which together with the overruling of Chevron have radically altered the scope of judicial deference to agency interpretations of statutes and regulations. The Seventh Edition makes a uniquely rich contribution to the field: it is perfect for 1L Legislation and Legislation-Regulation (LegReg) courses, and it remains the go-to book for upper level courses.
