Public Administration and Law

Since the first edition of this volume was published in 1983, it has retained its unique status of being the only book in the field of public administration that analyzes how constitutional law regulates and informs the way administrators interact with each other and the public. Examining First, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights as they pertain to these encounters, it explains how public administrators must do their jobs and how administrative systems must operate in order to comply with constitutional law. Supplemented with case citations and lists of articles, books and documents, this text is designed to facilitate further study in a constantly evolving area.
