Professor Daniel Feldman, Lead Author of Book on Administrative Law

Daniel Feldman, professor in the Department of Public Management, co-authored Learning Administrative Law (West Academic) with Rose Mary Bailly, Rodger Citron and Mehmet Konar-Steenberg.

Learning Administrative Law guides students through the new landscape of the field after its radical reshaping by the Supreme Court’s 2023-4 term. In always accessible and sometimes biting language, the book exposes the deviation of the “new” administrative law from the assumptions and understandings common to teachers and scholars in the past. 

Feldman’s current research involves government oversight, administrative law and legal philosophy and his previous publications include Administrative Law: The Sources and Limits of Government Agency Power, The Art of the Watchdog: Fighting Fraud, Waste, Abuse and Corruption in Government with David Eichenthal and Tales from the Sausage Factory: Making Law in New York State with Gerald Benjamin. 

Feldman is a fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration who previously served as special counsel for law and policy to New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, as a senior member of Attorney General Eliot Spitzer’s staff and as a member of the New York State Assembly. He earned an AB at Columbia College, a JD at Harvard Law School and a PhD from the CUNY Graduate Center.
