This article reviews developments in administrative law and practice during 2011 in the judicial, executive, and legislative branches of New York State government. It was a busy year for administrative law. This discussion focuses on twelve decisions announced by the New York Court of Appeals, ranging from government liability, to agency actions, to the process of competitive bidding, certain key initiatives of the Cuomo administration, and legislation which relates to the reform movement underway in the executive branch.
