SynopsisEmphasizes the scope and power of administrative government, as well as how the legal system shapes administrative procedure and practice., Authors Christine B. Harrington and Leif H. Carter know that while bureaucratic government is no cure for the shortcomings of free enterprise, government oversight and regulation is crucial to keeping power within democratic boundaries. This Fifth Edition of Administrative Law and Politics shows the scope and power of administrative government and demonstrates how the legal system shapes administrative procedure and practice. Using accessible language and examples, the casebook provides the foundation that students, public administrators and policy analysts need to interpret the rules and regulations that support our legal system. Offering a balance of case excerpts and commentary, this new edition and has been thoroughly updated to account for recent developments, such as administrative law vis-à-vis freedom of information statutes, including the NSA's surveillance program; how administrators and judges navigate the philosophical, political, and economic stakes behind divisions in the Roberts Court's judicial theory of statutes; non-enforcement and government inaction, including the position of Administrative Law Judges (ALJ) and the federal government's (Department of Education) Title IX policy on sexual assault, harassment, and other forms of sexual misconduct in education., Administrative Law and Politics emphasizes the scope and power of administrative government, as well as how the legal system shapes administrative procedure and practice., This proven casebook continues to lay a foundation of knowledge for effective decision making and critical evaluation of ethics in the rule of law with case excerpts and sharp commentary. This text has been updated to include discussion of: whether risk of future harm from government electronic surveillance is an injury sufficient to show standing enforcement of sovereign immunity when a citizen attempts to sue a state agency the importance of due process in the face of attempts to shut down Yucca mountain as a nuclear waste facility the negotiated rulemaking process for Title IV regulations the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 New cases include Christopher v. Smithkline Beechman Corp., Vance v. Ball State University, Milner v. Department of the Navy, and Clapper v. Amnesty International USA. Updated end-of-chapter exercises and questions encourage students to consider issues such as the NSA's surveillance tactics exposed by Edward Snowden and the Supreme Court's interpretation of Smith v. Maryland to give government the right to access citizens' private phone records, the University of Montana's "Resolution Agreement" regarding sexual harassment on its campus, and why the Justice Department chose to prosecute JP Morgan with civil instead of criminal charges for its enabling of Bernie Madoff's illicit Ponzi scheme.
