Review (PDF) Public Law And Public Administration
Prepare for your career in government service with PUBLIC LAW AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION! With the increasingly significant role of contracting out in public administration, this book is a must read for anyone who plans to enter the field of government service or public administration. Based on the premise that there is a complex, ongoing interaction between law and administration in the United States, this readable political science text proposes that administrative law problems are not only legal but also administrative and political.

I was assigned this text for my Law and Public Policy graduate level class. It seems to have become a staple textbook over the years in many classes, and has gone through 4 editions now. I found the text to be an extremely dry read. But considering it is about the law and court cases what did you expect? The author does have a sense of humor, but it is buried in some rather legalistic prose, or the footnotes. Speaking of footnotes, they are very detailed and should not be skipped. My research paper for this class got its start from one of the footnotes.Reading this textbook is not easy, but it is ultimately rewarding. It is a good introduction for the layperson who is not a lawyer, but does know something of the legal system. If the student does not know anything about the law, then this textbook will be too advanced for them to read.
This is a great book. I think it is better slated for a first year law student, more so than the components it offers for a student taking courses for administration. The book is a tough but thorough read. The book is also a little pricey, but most books of this caliber come with a price tag to match. Overall, worth every penny.
This was the most boring, overly wordy and pedantic textbook I've ever had to read in graduate school. I gave up trying to read it a few weeks into the semester and relied on class notes.
This text was used in conjunction to cases on Public Law and Admin. I did like using these texts together. As a former law student I liked how these were written and paired together.
