Administrative Law Matters

While I am a Social Security law specialist, in a more general sense I practice administrative law and I do so proudly since America has the most advanced system of administrative law in the world. Few nations can boast of anything approaching the Administrative Procedure Act. The Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act are important components of our system of administrative law and models for the world. Even the seldom noticed Paperwork Reduction Act is an important bulwark against bureaucratic overreaching. Does this sort of thing matter to anyone other than bureaucrats and drudges like me? Take a look at what happened in India after it adopted a freedom of information act.
