An outline I illustrated for Administrative Law — walking through the answer to the question, can a federal agency compel you, a citizen of US, to turn over information that you would rather not?
This colorful, hand-drawn flowchart walks through a classic Administrative Law question: Can a federal agency force you to produce information, documents, or testimony? The answer (as always) is: it depends.
Originally created during law school and finished in vibrant digital watercolor, this outline-style chart breaks down the factors courts look at when determining whether an agency’s request for information is enforceable. Subpoena power, statutory authority, relevance, burdens, and due process—it’s all here, mapped out in a way that’s actually readable when you’re exhausted before finals.
You can get it over at my Etsy shop, where there are a lot of other legal drawings and art prints for sale.

Thanks for visiting—and remember: when an agency knocks, make sure you know your flowchart.
