Leg Reg enough or take Admin Law?

Post by stillwun » Wed May 18, 2016 5:11 pm

Well I just finished my 1L year a couple weeks ago at a school with Leg Reg as a fundamental course and as a rising 2L, I'm wondering if taking Admin Law is necessary or if the regulation portion of Legislation Regulation is enough. Let's say this is from a general perspective and not someone who is sure they plan to practice in an admin law heavy field. Curious to see what you guys think.

Did not take a LegReg course, enjoyed Admin for its emphasis on standards of review and due process and found it to translate well outside the course. Take it if you want, don't if you don't.

After taking admin I realized how little administrative law I actually learned in legreg. I'm really glad I took admin and I'd recommend it if it interests you (and especially if you haven't learned standing, ripeness, exhaustion, etc.).

I would make the decision entirely based on academic interest. If you enjoyed the regulatory aspect of LegReg, you'll like Admin, and I'd suggest taking it. If you didn't particularly like it, then there's no need to take Admin, and you'd be better off using your limited time taking a class that's better suited to your interests.

Thanks for all the responses and advice. I guess Leg Reg alone is not enough but taking Admin Law depends on interest. This will help in my decision making.
