The Sixth Edition offers a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction
to the vital field of legislation and regulation. It addresses efforts
by President Trump to curtail the powers of the administrative state,
and new Supreme Court decisions reviewing challenges to these efforts
under the Constitution and the Administrative Procedure Act. In
addition, the Sixth Edition expands its celebrated treatment of
statutory interpretation, examining recent debates among textualists,
legal process advocates, and pragmatists about future directions of
interpretation in a post-Scalia era. The new edition also creates
separate chapters addressed to intrinsic interpretive doctrines
(dictionaries and canons) and extrinsic doctrines (the common law,
legislative background, and other statutes), with each chapter
highlighting recent decisions by the Supreme Court. Finally, the Sixth
Edition includes important updates on the law of the legislative
process―notably developments addressed to equality in representation;
racial and national origin vote dilution; political gerrymandering; and
bribery of public officials. The Sixth 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.
