What is the difference between administrative law and statutory law?

Answer 1

Statutory Law is when laws are passed by the government that have been accepted by our society.

Administrative Law consists of rules and procedures established by regulatory agencies.(the FCC)

Common Law is basically when judges use precedence to decide cases.

Answer 2

The US Constitution is the basis of all federal law and rights. So Constitutional law are the laws the federal government needs to follow and uphold in federal territories as well as between states and trade.

From these "rules" there is administrative law they are the laws that govern everyday issues, as long as they are with in the Constitutional guidelines. These laws are known as Statutes.

Now each state has a Constitution and Statutes, but they all follow the same principles.

Example: Can the federal government pass a law that no one can eat peanuts in a public school?

The answer is NO. Why?

Constitutional Law:

The US Constitution states in the 10th amendment last of the "Bill of Rights" it states " The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

The federal government has no jurisdiction over state land or the "state public school" and as such cannot make laws to govern over it.

Administrative Law:

In order to receive federal funding for the school lunch program the school "must" not allow peanuts onto the school property.

You see if you accept the program (it is un-Constitutional unless you accept it) you must agree to their rules.

Answer 3

Judicial law is law that is created when a judge issues an opinion and establishes precedent that is followed by other judges.
