Discretionary Justice

A Preliminary Inquiry

By: Kenneth Culp Davis

Research about justice for individual parties has been primarily concerned with the content of rules and principles and has insufficiently tried to penetrate discretionary justice as meted out by police, prosecutors, and other administrators. In this groundbreaking study Kenneth Culp Davis dispels the prevailing notion that discretionary justice is too elusive for scholarly investigation. Davis advances proposals for badly needed reforms in our system of discretionary justice and lays the groundwork for further empirical and philosophical studies. "Our jurisprudence of statutes and of judge-made law," says Davis, "is overdeveloped; our jurisprudence of administrative justice, of police justice, of prosecutor justice- of discretionary justice is under-developed. We need a new jurisprudence that will encompass all of justice, not just the easy half of it.

Administrative Law in the Political System

Law, Politics, and Regulatory Policy

By: Kenneth Warren

Emphasizing that administrative law must be understood within the context of the political system, this core text combines a descriptive systems approach with a social science focus. Author Kenneth F. Warren explains the role of administrative law in shaping, guiding, and restricting the actions of administrative agencies. Providing comprehensive coverage, he examines the field not only from state and federal angles, but also from the varying perspectives of legislators, administrators, and the public. Substantially revised, the sixth edition emphasizes current trends in administrative law, recent court decisions, and the impact the Trump administration has had on public administration and administrative law. Special attention is devoted to how the neo-conservative revival, strengthened by Trump appointments to the federal judiciary, have influenced the direction of administrative law and impacted the administrative state. Administrative Law in the Political System: Law, Politics, and Regulatory Policy, Sixth Edition is a comprehensive administrative law textbook written by a social scientist for social science students, especially upper division undergraduate and graduate students in political science, public administration, public management, and public policy and administration programs.

The American Legal System and Civic Engagement

Why We All Should Think Like Lawyers

By: Kenneth Manaster

In recent years there has been a widely-recognized and serious lack of rational and civil public discussion about current issues. In The American Legal System and Civic Engagement, Manaster asserts that ordinary citizens can form their opinions on public issues more intelligently, confidently, and responsibly if they have some guidance on how to do it. Drawing from the tools and traditions of the American legal system, he offers guidance to aid citizens in understanding public issues and participating in the type of responsible public debate these challenging issues deserve. From analyzing the influence of the media in informing the public, to examining the role of the citizen as a juror, The American Legal System and Civic Engagement is a practical and informative guide to how Americans can better perform the civic duty that modern democracy requires.
