Administrative law is a branch of law that governs the activities and decisions of administrative agencies and government bodies. It sets out the rules and procedures by which these agencies operate, make decisions, and interact with individuals and organizations. Administrative law ensures that government actions are fair, consistent, and accountable, and it provides mechanisms for individuals to challenge administrative decisions through processes like appeals and judicial review. It encompasses a wide range of issues, including regulatory compliance, due process, administrative hearings, and the balance of power between government agencies and citizens.
