Massachusetts Administrative Law Research
Massachusetts regulatory research consists of finding rules and regulations promulgated by state agencies in accordance with the Massachusetts Administrative Procedure Act (M.G.L. c. 30A).
In addition to rules and regulations, the act also gives agencies the power to adjudicate disputes relating to their rules and regulations. Agency decisions for selected agencies are available in a variety of formats.
A comprehensive listing of Massachusetts agencies may be found at the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Branches & Departments page. In a few instances, administrative law research can be also conducted at the agency web sites. In addition to regulations, you may find forms and other practitioner-related documents. The quality and depth of agency web sites. vary, so the legal researcher is cautioned against relying solely on these sites for administrative law research.
