What is Administrative Law?

Administrative law, when you get down to the nuts and bolts of it, determines the power, organizations, and administrative duties of the administrative authorities. These laws include rulemaking, legal liabilities, and the power of the ordinary courts. For the most part, administrative law is a branch of public law and deals with matters and problems that involve government and individuals. And it determines the power of the quasi-judicial authorities to enforce the law.

Oftentimes, administrative law is not codified law, which means judges can change it depending on the situation. This is where we come in as attorneys who handle administrative law matters. We will represent you and show up in court to help you with your legal woes. We have a great understanding of the changing nature of administrative law and how to ably combat it.

These administrative trials are brought to administrative courts. And the individuals are brough forward as the administrative law sees fit. The rules and regulations of an administrative court differs from that of regular courts, since they focus on specific areas. Due to this, their authority is limited.

Is Administrative Law Civil or Criminal?

The answer is neither. Administrative law is neither criminal nor civil. Administrative law is ultimately composed of various rules and regulations and tend to deal with technological aspects of the communication between the public and governmental authorities. And it is often the result of an agency created to deal with issues that need a more flexible approach. However, administrative law tends to have their own set of areas of jurisdiction, such as the aforementioned agencies like the Department of Transportation and the Department of Consumer Affairs. These areas have their own jurisdiction and set their own laws for administrative reasons.
