Administrative law is a branch of law that deals with the activities and decisions of administrative agencies, which are government organizations created to administer specific aspects of public policy. These agencies have various powers such as rulemaking, adjudication, or enforcement, and their actions can affect individuals or groups in society. Administrative law provides a framework for challenging these actions if they are deemed to be unlawful, arbitrary, or capricious. It also establishes the rules by which government agencies must operate, including procedures for rulemaking, adjudication, and enforcement. In essence, administrative law seeks to ensure that government agencies act within their authority and in accordance with due process of law when making decisions that affect individuals or groups.
