Abstract
Boilerplate disclaimers appear with some frequency in administrative regulations, yet there has been a striking absence of discussion as to their validity. In this article, the author argues that administrative disclaimers threaten two key constitutional concerns inherent in administrative law - proper government structure and fairness to individuals - and that therefore courts should approach administrative disclaimers with a high degree of skepticism.
