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.
Suitable for students or practitioners, this authoritative overview of the legislative process and statutory interpretation moves smoothly and understandably between the theoretical and the practical. You'll find in-depth discussion of such topics as theories of legislation and representation, electoral and legislative structures, the role of text and precedent in statutory interpretation, substantive canons, legislative history, and agency interpretations. Reap the benefits of the authors' experience, opinions, and insight and gain a working knowledge of the area.

Democratic National Committee) and to theories of statutory interpretation in Chapter 5 (Bostock v. Clayton County and Niz-Chavez v. Garland); extended Notes on original public meaning and a newer textualism in Chapter 5 and a Note on continuing debate over the series qualifier canon in Chapter 6 (Facebook Inc. v. Duguid). The Supplement further includes treatment of a number of recent Supreme Court decisions in Chapter 8, on appointment and removal (Seila Law LLC v. Consumer Finance Protection Bureau; Collins v. Yellin; and United States v. Arthrex); on notice and comment rulemaking (Federal Communications Commission v. Prometheus Radio Project); and on judicial review of agency rules (Department of Homeland Security v. Regents of the Univ. of California); and an extended Note on Executive Orders and the Regulatory Process in the Trump and Biden Eras. Finally, the Supplement covers a recent Supreme Court decision addressing deference to agency interpretations in Chapter 9 (Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis).
This book is the first to compare the freedoms and protections of
members of the United States Congress with those of Britain's
Parliament. Placing legislative privilege in historical context,
Josh Chafetz explores how and why legislators in Britain and
America have been granted special privileges in five areas:
jurisdictional conflicts between the courts and the legislative
houses, freedom of speech, freedom from civil arrest, contested
elections, and the disciplinary powers of the houses.
