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 Administrative Justice in the United States. Like the first edition, which has been 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. It 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 expanded, 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.
