Head reviews administrative law with a keen critical eye to its historical, political, economic, social, and governmental context. He argues that unless you know the political controversies, policy arguments, judicial trends, and constitutional tensions that lie behind nearly all the major cases, you simply cannot understand how and why the courts have reached their decisions. Written primarily as a student text and cross-referenced to Douglas and Jones's Administrative Law and other leading texts, Michael Head's book combines clear and succinct exposition of legislation, rules, and principles; pithy and critical summaries of main cases; and commentary that takes readers beyond the strict legalities to gain a feel for the social fabric, political dynamics, judicial schisms, and evolution of the law. |
