Administrative Law for Public Managers

by David H. Rosenbloom

Administrative Law for Public Managers a comprehensive guide to the essentials that public managers need to know about administrative law-why we have administrative law, the constitutional constraints on public administration, and administrative law's frameworks for rulemaking, adjudication, enforcement, transparency, and judicial and legislative review. Rosenbloom views administrative law from the perspectives of administrative practice, emphasizing how various administrative law provisions promote their underlying goal of improving the fit between public administration and U.S. democratic-constitutionalism. The second edition has been thoroughly revised to include more on state administrative law, as well as an expanded discussion of procedural due process. It has also been updated to include the major statutes, court cases, executive orders and other major executive initiatives since 2003. The addition of discussion questions makes this an even more valuable resource for public administration classrooms and students.Organized around federal administrative law, Administrative Law for Public Managers explains the fundamentals of administrative law clearly and accurately, in non-technical terms, and with sufficient depth to provide readers with a sophisticated, lasting understanding of the subject matter.

Administrative law has been a glaring hole in my education and thus was a good intro to it.

Rosenbloom does a great job synthesizing the concepts of administrative law and weaving them into a coherent overview of the field.

Great read for public administrators looking for a ground-level understanding of the role that administrative law plays in public management.

He covers key issues in administrative law in a manner that provides guidance for public managers. A rich resource and well worth perusing.
