The field addresses the exercise of delegated legislative and judicial authority by executive-branch agencies and independent regulatory commissions, reconciling administrative expertise with constitutional principles of separation of powers, due process, and democratic accountability. The foundational statute is the <strong>Administrative Procedure Act (APA)</strong> , enacted in 1946 and codified at 5 USC §§ 551-559 and 701-706, which establishes uniform procedural requirements for rulemaking, adjudication, and judicial review of agency action.</p>
