Administrative law is about the struggle to achieve a balance between the competing interests that shape the design and implementation of public programs.
Administrative Law is the law that governs the executive branch of government/the administrative state. This course primarily explores the tensions between: preserving the rule of law and the rights and interests of those affected by administrative action; and honouring legislative intent in delegating decision-making authority to administrative actors.
The course is ultimately intended to help students learn how to conduct a motion and a trial in a family/civil case.
The instructors have designed case scenarios, which contain factual/legal issues intended to assist in the development of skills necessary for good advocacy.
