Summer 2025 Update to the Hickman-Pierce-Walker Federal Administrative Law: Cases and Materials

Kristin, Dick, and I have just published the Summer 2025 Update to our federal administrative law casebook. From the introduction:

Administrative law is a dynamic field, and there are always interesting new cases being decided and new debates unfolding. The past two years have seen some big administrative law cases from the Supreme Court. In particular, the Court’s decision to overturn Chevron deference fundamentally alters how instructors will need to address judicial review of agency interpretations of statutes. We anticipate publishing a new Fifth Edition of the textbook in time for the 2026-27 academic year. In the meantime, this memo provides excerpts and notes for a handful of the most significant cases since the release of the Fourth Edition. For a more comprehensive and detailed summary of recent cases and events in administrative law, we recommend Kristin E. Hickman & Richard J. Pierce, Jr., Administrative Law Treatise (7th ed. 2024), and biannual supplements thereto. We hope you find this memo helpful.
