Summary
For the anxious administrative lawyer, the problem is this – if expert administrative capacity is a complex set of knowledge and institutional practices, is it possible for administrative law to truly ensure that public administration stays within its authority and is properly held to account? Is the only solution to trust in the judgment of expert administrators? Does that not carry a whole range of threats? Is the only real answer to constrain that power and limit it to a set of specific tasks?
