Like their rule-making power, the "judiciary-like" power of administrative agencies is derived from statutes that govern the agencies. Administrative decisions, opinions and rulings are not necessarily easy to find because many agencies publish their decisions and opinions selectively; titles of the agency publications and even the name and responsibilities of the agencies frequently change. Since administrative decisions, opinions and rulings are public records, researchers can request them from the agencies under the Freedom of Information Law, N.Y. Pub.Off. Law § 87 (2000).
