There’s a discussion about whether law professors should share their syllabi.
The answer is yes.
Here is my Administrative Law syllabus for summer 2020:
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW, SUMMER 2020
MATERIALS AND RESOURCES
Gellhorn and Byse’s Administrative Law, Cases and Comments, eds. Peter Strauss, Todd Rakoff, Gillian E. Metzger, David Barron, Anne Joseph O’Connell (12th edition).
