An Introduction To Administrative Justice In The United States

Foreign attorneys seeking an introduction to American public law, American students of administrative law, and others wanting to understand the workings of American government from a legal perspective, will all be well served by the second edition of An Introduction to Administrative Justice in the United States. Like the first edition, widely adopted in American universities, it provides an overview of American administrative law. Originally written to introduce lawyers from abroad to American public law, it discusses most subjects that would be covered in an American law school course on Administrative Law or on the structural elements of American constitutional law. Strauss makes a particular effort to explain arrangements of American government that might be surprising to lawyers from other parts of the world. Thoroughly revised and current through June 2001, the second edition offers not only a comprehensive introduction to the caselaw, statutes, and literature of the subject, but also a wide range of websites through which American government can be explored firsthand. An eminent American attorney called the first edition of An Introduction to Administrative Justice in the United States "the most elegantly written book on law that I have read in a long time."

The UN’s capacity as an administrative decision-maker that affects the rights of individuals is a largely overlooked aspect of its role in international affairs. This book explores the potential for a model of administrative justice that might act as a benchmark to which global decision-makers could develop procedural standards. Applied to the UN’s internal justice, refugee status determination, NGO participation and the Security Council, the global administrative justice model is used to appraise the existing procedural protections within UN administrative decision-making.

Sabino Cassese presents an incisive introduction to the essential principles of global law, exploring the central theories of globalization through an analysis of the main developments in this area.
