Start Here | Administrative Remedies
Administrative Remedies is a podcast and online guide to the law that actually governs how the federal government works — the doctrines behind the headlines, from Chevron and major questions to standing, due process, and agency enforcement. Hosted by Professor Gwendolyn Savitz and Professor Marc Roark at the University of Tulsa College of Law. New episodes release weekly during the academic year.
Everything on this site is free. Every episode has a plain-language Learn page you can read instead of listening. The casebook pairings are designed for law professors and students. The current-developments pages are designed for anyone trying to make sense of a recent Supreme Court ruling or an executive order in the news.
This page helps you find where to start.
I want to understand a doctrine
The Learn library has more than 30 explainer pages organized by topic: how agencies work, executive power, judicial review, agency decision-making, due process, and current developments. Each one is written to be read in about 10 minutes, with current cases woven in.
Four good starting points:
- Why We Need the Administrative State — the policy case for the administrative state and the standard critiques
- Notice and Comment Rulemaking — how federal regulations actually get made
- Chevron, Skidmore, and Loper Bright — judicial deference from its origins through the end of Chevron
- Standing Explained — the doctrine that decides who gets to sue a federal agency
