User:Wluneburg/ABA Section of Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice

The Section of Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice serves its members, the bar and the public at-large, by providing a congenial forum to share new ideas and the most recent information on substantive and procedural developments in Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice. Members of the Section receive the quarterly Administrative & Regulatory Law News magazine, the quarterly Administrative Law Review, and the annual Developments in Administrative Law compendium. The leaders of the Section include a Chair, Chair-Elect, and Vice-Chair along with a governing Council of 12 members (each of whom serves a three-year term). The Section includes thirteen administrative process committees (e.g. rulemaking, judicial review, etc.) and twenty-nin government function committees (e.g. agriculture, postal matters). There are four meetings each year of the Council to consider matters requiring formal action by the Section. Over the years the Section has adopted many recommendations for improvement in the processes of governmental decisionmaking as well as the policies (proposed or adopted) resulting from agency and legislative action. Upon approval of those recommendations by the ABA's House of Delegages, they have become the policy of the American Bar Association. To deal with issues that require immediate action, the Section may comment on proposed legislative or agency action under "blanket authority," a process that requires consultation with other entities in the ABA, but does not require House of Delegate action. The Section has issued such letters on numerous occasions over the years. The Section maintains a webpage
