Like the ESPN highlights of Administrative Law

This book was mandatory read for my Public Administration study. Unlike many of the Public Administration/Policy snoozer Text, this one is actually readable and well-worth its weight in gold. In it you'll find cascades of judicial case study on rulings that's shaped the Democracy and Bureaucracy of the United States. Administrative Law provides the reader with highlights into the thought processes (prevailing and dissenting opinions) behind the most relevant Judicial rulings (Supreme, District, Appellate, etc...) that affect our everyday lives as citizens. Equally as important, the Author presents the format in an extremely organized, easy-to-follow, easy-to-understand format for us non-lawyerly-type. I'm compelled to write a review for this book because it's one of the few Textbooks that's profoundly influenced my path in Public Service and provided me with a better understanding and appreciation for the nuts-and-bolts that make our Nation great. The one complaint I do have for the book -and for all Textbooks for that matter- is that it's quite heavy and difficult to lug around in a paperback/magazine-like fashion. In the not-so-distant future, I look forward to buying this reference Text in E-book format.
