Administrative law is the law that governs the review of executive action through government agencies. This includes the actions of the executive through independent boards, tribunals and agencies, in addition to the actions and decisions of officials in departments (such as immigration or labor). When people speak of "judicial review" of bureaucratic action, or of "appealing an immigration decision" this is in the realm of administrative law.

Administrative law deals with agency authority to act. For example, how does the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) pass rules that have the affect of law when the Constitution vests legislative power in Congress? Similarly, how does the FCC adjudicate disputes when the judicial power was vested in the judicial branch in the Constitution? Agencies often do quasi-judicial and quasi-executive functions. Administrative law deals with where agencies get the authority to act, and the limits of that authority.
