The third edition of this highly respected textbook introduces students of public administration to the practical issues of administrative law. While useful to law school students, it is most relevant to public management students. The presentation provides a concise foundation to the history and theory of administrative law, rule making, and judicial decisions. The most important issues in administrative law are included--meaningful issues for present and future administrators. A larger number of recent cases and other up-to-date information will be found in the book in order to make the student aware of the kinds of legal problems likely to be encountered in public agencies. One or two cases illustrate each problem at hand, rather than discussing numerous arcane court decisions and technicalities of legal procedure, in order to sketch the broad contours of the present law.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Recent cases and other developments since the last edition 15 years ago provide a substantial update to Barry and Whitcomb's introductory administrative law text, useful to law students as well as those studying public management. The authors focus not on a comprehensive reading of the law but rather on the kinds of legal problems that administrators are most likely to be confronted with. (Reference & Research Book News )

Review for the book I purchased on Amazon,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Legal Foundations of Public Administration (Hardcover)
I bought the book because it was recommended for the class I was taking online. Obviously, it helped as I expected. As to the state of the book, it was in good, if not excellent condition. The seller had maintained the book pretty well. As a matter of fact, that book will be part of my personal library. Great service from Amazon and for the user to whom the book has been recommended.
