Administrative Law
Administrative Law has always been at the sidewalks in the streets of Political Law. As a separate subject in the study of law or in any other related discipline, less attention have been given to this area. Unknown to many, this field of law is as important as the branches of civil, criminal, commercial, or remedial law. This lay down the protocols, rules, and the procedural law of public administration. Many have not seen its significance because these are being practiced from within the organizational structure of the government. It does not generally apply to private individuals unless to the extent that liability attaches to the cohorts of public officers, and other exceptional circumstances.
