What is Administrative Law?
Administrative law relates to the activities of government agencies, including rulemaking, adjudication, and enforcement. Many municipal tickets and ordinance matters are handled through administrative hearings.
Municipal Code Violations and Hearings
Anyone who has received a municipal code ticket and chose to contest it through a hearing rather than paying has participated in administrative law. Examples include red light tickets, building code violations, and other local ordinance matters.
