Administrative law governs which of the following?

• A. The rules for criminal prosecutions
• B. The procedures of private corporations
• C. The procedures and activities of government boards and commissions and tribunals
• D. International treaties and diplomacy

Answer: (C)

Administrative law focuses on how government bodies operate: how they set rules, hold hearings, gather evidence, make decisions, and provide reasons for those decisions. It governs the procedures and activities of government boards, commissions, and tribunals, ensuring fairness, transparency, and accountability in public decision-making. This is why the correct choice describes the rules and practices that apply to these bodies. By contrast, criminal prosecutions are governed by criminal law, private corporate procedures fall under corporate or civil law, and international treaties and diplomacy are topics within international law. So administrative law is specifically the framework that manages how public bodies conduct their processes and decisions.
