Principles Of Administrative Law

THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN "POLITICS" AND "ADMINISTRATION" According to Goodnow, politics is concerned with policy and other expressions of state will. Administration is concerned with the faithful execution of enacted legislation. He observes that administration has a tendency to overstep this boundary and concedes that politics must therefore monitor administration to keep it in line with the state's will. Reprint of first edition. "From both the legal and historical standpoint the book contains many things that are richly suggestive. There is very little in our legal or political literature so penetrating as for example the exposition of the effects of confinement of the principle of separation of powers to the central government. (...) It is not written for the legal profession directly, but to those lawyers who seek more than a working tool in their profession, a true appraisement of the administrative law, it will appeal. The writing of such a work moreover is a signal public service." --6 Columbia Law Review (1906) 133 While a member of the Columbia faculty, FRANK J. GOODNOW [1859-1939] was the first individual in the United States to hold a professorship in administrative law. He became the first president of the American Political Science Association, which offers an annual award in his name, and was president of Johns Hopkins University from 1915-1929.

This book provides an accessible, yet sophisticated treatment of the essential principles of administrative law. Topics covered include a history of the American administrative state; theories of agency behavior; separation of powers and procedural due process, as they are implicated by the administrative process; the procedural framework of the Administrative Procedure Act; formal adjudicatory procedure; informal rulemaking procedure; and the availability, timing, and scope of judicial review. The book includes charts and diagrams that assist the reader in visualizing the major elements of the administrative process.

A new framework for understanding contemporary administrative law, through a comparative analysis of case law from Australia, Canada, England, Ireland, and New Zealand. The author argues that the field is structured by four values: individual self-realisation, good administration, electoral legitimacy and decisional autonomy.

This text provides readers with a concise statement of the principles of administrative law. Rather than attempting to discuss the abundance of case law emanating from every Canadian jurisdiction, this work provides a conceptual framework for understanding the principles of administrative law, which readers may then apply to specific fact situations. The work covers all important topics in the field, including constitutional considerations, the concept of a statutory delegate, the acquisition of jurisdiction, procedural fairness, discretionary powers, standards of review, and public and private law remedies against governmental action.

Administrative Law: Principles and Advocacy,Fourth Edition teaches students the fundamental principles of administrative law. Through simple language and practical examples, students will understand key legal issues and learn how to successfully argue cases before administrative tribunals. The fourth edition is divided into three parts: Principles and Theory, Advocacy, and Challenging Administrative Decision-Making and Enforcing Orders. Part I introduces students to fundamental administrative law principles, such as the right to be heard and the duty to give reasons, with an emphasis on procedural fairness. Part II examines effective advocacy and outlines procedures at every stage of the hearing process, including presenting evidence at a hearing and conduct outside of the hearing. Part III addresses issues that may arise after proceedings and steps that must then be taken. Authors Liz Nastasi and Deborah Pressman have provided important legislative and pedagogical updates to the fourth edition. These cover major developments such as the rise of active adjudication, new dispute resolution processes that encourage mediation, and online processes.
