Administrative Justice in the United States

Additional Book Details

The noted Administrative Law scholar Professor Peter L. Strauss of Columbia Law School has now completed the Third Edition of his Administrative Justice in the United States, addressing the issues of administrative law in ways that should be helpful both to foreign lawyers wishing a detailed introduction to American public law and to American lawyers and law students who must deal with the subject. Building on the well regarded Second Edition of 2002, this edition captures the developments of the past fifteen years, with particular attention to the impacts of the digital age.

Professor Strausss Third Edition of Administrative Justice is a marvelous achievementa master class in the law and structural principles that constitute our current government. One hears Professor Strausss voice throughout, wisely guiding the reader to see how public law structures and doctrines fit together and the tensions they hold. The books sweeping coverage combined with the extensive updating provides a comprehensive portrait of public law in the United States today and at the same time exposes the limits of law in structuring our government. The book will be an invaluable resource not only to scholars, students, and readers seeking to understand our administrative and constitutional law tradition, but also to comparative law scholars looking for a comprehensive and engaging account.
