Abstract
This newly revised casebook is built for courses in Legislation & Regulation or Statutory Interpretation. It takes a practice-oriented approach, blending tightly edited cases with targeted problems to equip students with the tools lawyers actually use to interpret legal texts and navigate the administrative state.
The book not only teaches the mechanics of statutory and regulatory interpretation, but also brings to life the roles of legislatures, courts, and agencies in shaping the law. Students leave with a clear understanding of how statutes and regulations are made, how they are challenged, and how lawyers can frame arguments across a wide range of doctrinal and institutional settings.
This edition includes substantial revisions reflecting the Supreme Court's recent overruling of Chevron and other major developments, ensuring students engage with the most up-to-date public law.
