Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Hamburger argues persuasively that America has overlaid its constitutional system with a form of governance that is both alien and dangerous.” —Law and Politics Book Review While the federal government traditionally could constrain liberty only through acts of Congress and the courts, the executive branch has increasingly come to control Americans through its own administrative rules and adjudication, thus raising disturbing questions about the effect of this sort of state power on American government and society. With Is Administrative Law Unlawful?, Philip Hamburger answers this question in the affirmative, offering a revisionist account of administrative law. Rather than accepting it as a novel power necessitated by modern society, he locates its origins in the medieval and early modern English tradition of royal prerogative. Then he traces resistance to administrative law from the Middle Ages to the present. Medieval parliaments periodically tried to confine the Crown to governing through regular law, but the most effective response was the seventeenth-century development of English constitutional law, which concluded that the government could rule only through the law of the land and the courts, not through administrative edicts. Although the US Constitution pursued this conclusion even more vigorously, administrative power reemerged in the Progressive and New Deal Eras. Since then, Hamburger argues, administrative law has returned American government and society to precisely the sort of consolidated or absolute power that the US Constitution—and constitutions in general—were designed to prevent. With a clear yet many-layered argument that draws on history, law, and legal thought, Is Administrative Law Unlawful? reveals administrative law to be not a benign, natural outgrowth of contemporary government but a pernicious—and profoundly unlawful—return to dangerous pre-constitutional absolutism.
Download or read book The Administrative State and Its Law written by Michael Greve and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For understandable but also unfortunate reasons, the contemporary scholarly and public debate over “the administrative state” -- a poorly defined term of convenience -- has been marred by dramatic claims, ideological rancor, and arcane doctrinal quarrels that serve as placeholders for a grim clash of convictions. Expansive delegations of legislative powers, coupled with highly deferential judicial review and increasingly “unorthodox” forms of administration, have prompted scholars from opposing vantages to argue that all administrative law is an unlawful departure from constitutional government, or a thin veneer for an essentially “Schmittian” state beyond effective legal control (and a good thing, too).This essay -- written as an Introduction to a series of articles commissioned for a transatlantic law conference -- argues that the stateside debate would greatly benefit from a comparative administrative law inquiry. In contrast to the acrimony over unchecked executive power in the United States, British scholars apprehend tendencies toward administrative juristocracy. In even sharper contrast, the German administrative law profession shares a firm conviction that is entirely possible to reconcile the demands of modern government with constitutionally grounded rule-of-law precepts. At a minimum, the comparative perspective greatly complicates facile stories of constitutional decay or the “modernization” of an archaic constitutional framework. It invites deeper reflection and opens a wider, perhaps more sober perspective on the American administrative state and its law.

Download or read book Judicial Review of Administrative Discretion in the Administrative State written by Jurgen de Poorter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with one of the greatest challenges for the judiciary in the 21st century. It reflects on the judiciary’s role in reviewing administrative discretion in the administrative state; a role that can no longer solely be understood from the traditional doctrine of the Trias Politica. Traditionally, courts review acts of administrative bodies implying a degree of discretion with quite some restraint. Typically it is reviewed whether the decision is non-arbitrary or whether there is no manifest error of assessment. The question arises though as to whether the concern regarding ensuring the non-arbitrary character of the exercise of administrative power, which is frequently performed at a distance from political bodies, goes far enough to guarantee that the administration exercises its powers in a legitimate way. This publication searches for new modes of judicial review of administrative discretion exercised in the administrative state. It links state-of-the-art academic research on the role of courts in the administrative state with the daily practice of the higher and lower administrative courts struggling with their position in the evolving administrative state. The book concludes that with the changing role and forms of the administrative state, administrative courts across the world and across sectors are in the process of reconsidering their roles and the appropriate models of judicial review. Learning from the experiences in different sectors and jurisdictions, it provides theoretical and empirical foundations for reflecting on the advantages and disadvantages of different models of review, the constitutional consequences and the main questions that deserve further research and debate.

Download or read book Administrative Law and Government Action written by Hazel Genn and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1994 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Administrative Law and Government Action offers a new collection of essays on important and often contentious aspects of administrative law: the propriety of judicial intervention in government, for example, and the implications of our membership of the European Union. The individual contributions are informed by a wide variety of theoretical perspectives, and are drawn together by certain common themes: the constitutional role of judicial review, its efficacy as a mechanism for the regulation of government decision-making, and the scope and impact of alternative mechanisms, such as tribunals, administrative reviews and ombudsmen. All chapters address issues of current significance and, while some develop a broad conceptual analysis, others rely on a more internal critique. Each contributor sets out both to provide an accessible synthesis of existing literature and to develop his or her own critical approach. Considerable emphasis is also placed on the results of relevant empirical research where available. The volume falls into two parts. Part I is concerned primarily with judicial review and its appropriate constitutional role, while Part II discusses alternative mechanisms for the regulation of government action.

Download or read book Introduction to Law written by Jaap Hage and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is exceptional in the sense that it provides an introduction to law in general rather than the law of one specific jurisdiction, and it presents a unique way of looking at legal education. It is crucial for lawyers to be aware of the different ways in which societal problems can be solved and to be able to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different legal solutions. In this respect, being a lawyer involves being able to reason like a lawyer, even more than having detailed knowledge of particular sets of rules. Introduction to Law reflects this view by focusing on the functions of rules and on ways of arguing the relative qualities of alternative legal solutions. Where ‘positive’ law is discussed, the emphasis is on the legal questions that must be addressed by a field of law and on the different solutions which have been adopted by, for instance, the common law and civil law tradition. The law of specific jurisdictions is discussed to illustrate possible answers to questions such as when the existence of a valid contract is assumed.

Download or read book The Federalist Papers written by Alexander Hamilton and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States.
