The Nature of the Crown
This book explores the nature of the Crown in its legal and political context. Here, the term The Crown is being used, not as a direct reference to the Queen, but as a reference to the central power of the State which exercises legal and political authority. Since the Crown has not been the object of extensive literature with pride of place on constitutional law courses, this book aims to redress this state of affairs by drawing together essays that explore what the Crown is, or might be, and the critical issues relating to it.
The Oxford Handbook of Administrative Justice
"The core animating feature of administrative justice scholarship is the desire to understand how justice is achieved through the delivery of public services and the actions, inactions, and decision-making of administrative bodies. The study of administrative justice also encompasses the redress systems by which people can challenge administrative bodies to seek the correction of injustices. For a long time now, scholars have been interested in administrative justice, but without necessarily framing their work as such. Rather than existing under the rubric of administrative justice, much of the research undertaken has existed within sub-categories of disciplines, such as law, sociology, publ...
Reimagining Administrative Justice
"In their beautifully written book, O'Brien and Doyle tell a story of small places - where human rights and administrative justice matter most. A human rights discourse is cleverly intertwined with the debates about the relationship between the citizen and the state and between citizens themselves. O'Brien and Doyle re-imagine administrative justice with the ombud institution at its core. This book is a must read for anyone interested in a democratic vision of human rights deeply embedded within the administrative justice system."--Naomi Creutzfeldt, University of Westminster, UK This book reconnects everyday justice with social rights. It rediscovers human rights in the 'small places' of ho...
Landmark Cases in Public Law
Landmark Cases in Public Law answers the need for an historical examination of the leading cases in this field, an examination which is largely absent from the standard textbooks and journal articles of the day. Adopting a contextualised historical approach, this collection of essays by leading specialists in the field provides both an explanation of the importance and impact of the chosen decisions, as well as doctrinal analysis. This approach enables each author to throw light on the driving forces behind the judicial outcomes, and shows how the final reasoning of the court was ultimately as much dependent upon such human factors as the attitudes, conduct, and personalities of the parties, their witnesses, their counsel, and the judges, as the drive to seek legal realignment with the political developments that were widely perceived to be taking place. In this way, this form of analysis provides an exposition of the true stories behind these landmark cases in public law.
The Cambridge Companion to Public Law
A scholarly and accessible examination of key themes, debates and issues in contemporary public law by leading authorities on the subject.
Judicial Review in Perspective
In 1991 the Lord Chancellor announced that the Law Commission would undertake a comprehensive review of the procedures and remedies available through judicial review. Coinciding with this announcement, the Public Law Project, in collaboration with Maurice Sunkin of the University of Essex, launched an empirical study of access to and the use of judicial review. This second edition updates the original report and presents the results of further analysis of the original data on the progress of leave applications considered by individual judges to their final outcome. It also updates data on legal aid applications to take judicial review proceedings.

Feminist Perspectives on Public Law

The Global Expansion of Judicial Power
In Russia, as the confrontation over the constitutional distribution of authority raged, Boris Yeltsin's economic program regularly wended its way in and out of the Constitutional Court until Yeltsin finally suspended that court in the aftermath of his clash with the hard-line parliament. In Europe, French and German legislators and executives now routinely alter desired policies in response to or in anticipation of the pronouncements of constitutional courts. In Latin America and Africa, courts are--or will be-- important participants in ongoing efforts to establish constitutional rules and policies protect new or fragile democracies from the threats of military intervention, ethnic conflic...
The Shapeshifting Crown
The Crown is the bedrock of Westminster-style democracies, yet its meanings, powers and effects are opaque and little understood.
