Administrative Law adopts a new approach to the subject: explaining the constitutional principles that underlie it and bringing unity to the diverse topics that students need to master to understand this complex branch of public law. The author's lively and analytical style encourages the development of a critical, questioning approach.
What this book intends to do is to study three-dimensionalism (the distinction values-norms-facts) not in what could be called its historical dimension, but in its substantive aspect, as a “form” that, when applied to different legal themes, would add a “material content” to the three-dimensional theory. We can point out, as a study plan, the distinction between “three” perspectives: Those of the legal norm, of the legal order, and the legal relationship. Three-dimensionalism also appears in this work when one analyzes the “three” phases of the life of the law: The formation, the interpretation, and the application; and in the distinction between the “three” characteristics of the legal order: Fullness, coherence, and unity—the theory of legal validity, intended as legitimacy, as validity strictly speaking, or as effectiveness.
Justice Antonin Scalia (1936–2016) was the single most important figure in the emergence of the “new originalist” interpretation of the US Constitution, which sought to anchor the court’s interpretation of the Constitution to the ordinary meaning of the words at the time of drafting. For Scalia, the meaning of constitutional provisions and statutes was rigidly fixed by their original meanings with little concern for extratextual considerations. While some lauded his uncompromising principles, others argued that such a rigid view of the Constitution both denies and attempts to limit the discretion of judges in ways that damage and distort our system of law. In this edited collection, leading scholars from law, political science, philosophy, rhetoric, and linguistics look at the ways Scalia framed and stated his arguments. Focusing on rhetorical strategies rather than the logic or validity of Scalia’s legal arguments, the contributors collectively reveal that Scalia enacted his rigidly conservative vision of the law through his rhetorical framing.

This is the first ever index of contributions to common law Festschriften and fills a serious bibliographic gap in the literature of the common law. The German word Festschrift is now the universally accepted term in the academy for a published collection of legal essays written by several authors to honour a distinguished jurist or to mark a significant legal event. The number of Festschriften honouring common lawyers has increased enormously in the last thirty years. Until now, the numerous scholarly contributions to these volumes have not been adequately indexed. This Index fills that bibliographic gap. The entries included in this work refer to some 296 common law Festschriften indexed by author, subject keyword, editor, title, honorand and date. It therefore includes over 5,000 chapter entries. In addition, there are more than a thousand entries of English language contributions to predominantly foreign language, non-common law legal Festschriften from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.

Die verfassungsgebende Gewalt wollte aus der Menschenwurde konkrete rechtliche Folgerungen ziehen und einen Menschenwurdegehalt aller Grundrechte der Verfassungsanderung entziehen (Art. 1 Abs. 1 i.V. mit Art. 79 Abs. 3 GG). Die Menschenwurde als Verfassungsbegriff ernst zu nehmen heisst deshalb, ihren Sinn gleichsam induktiv, von den nachfolgenden Grundrechten her, zu erschliessen. Die Verfassung knupft damit an die Ideen von 1776 und 1789 an und erneuert das unerfullte Versprechen der Freiheit und Gleichheit aller Menschen in ihren unverausserlichen Rechten. Das Werk wird durch zwei Untersuchungen erganzt, die unter den Titeln "Abwagungsfeste Rechte - Von Alexys Prinzipien zum Modell der Grundsatznormen" und "Todesstrafenverbot und Folterverbot - Grundrechtliche Menschenwurdegehalte unter dem Grundgesetz" veroffentlicht werden. Die drei Bande (JusPubl 276, 277, 278) sind sowohl einzeln als auch zum Setpreis erhaltlich.
'Administrative Law' uses a small number of key cases in depth throughout the text to illustrate and explain the subject within a practical, real-world context. It is a guide to the constitutional principles of English administrative law, and a detailed account of how those principles are applied.
