🎓 Reddit experts on public administration law books
The comments and opinions expressed on this page are written exclusively by redditors. To provide you with the most relevant data, we sourced opinions from the most knowledgeable Reddit users based the total number of upvotes and downvotes received across comments on subreddits where public administration law books are discussed. For your reference and for the sake of transparency, here are the specialists whose opinions mattered the most in our ranking.
>Examples?
Grant. Taylor. Arthur. Hoover. Arguably Ike (though he is probably the most successful). With the exception of one term as Governor which is well outside of Washington experience that is at the core of it, Bush (2nd).
>Nope. Just not needlessly meddling in places we have nothing to gain from.
Arguable. There is plenty the US can gain from in maintaining global hegemony. Not much that I particularly agree with, but there are benefits. One doesn't need to read much further than Keohane and Nye's work on neoliberal institutionism to see that. However, for me as someone on the opposite side of Trump's political beliefs, I will take an isolationist over a warhawk.
>You're insane if you believe this.
When did I write: "trump will be less effective with the republican senate/congress than Clinton"? You put that in quotes, but I never wrote those words that you're responding to.
As much as people see Obama as having been "stonewalled", he has done more than the vast majority of presidents. When we get beyond our perception of what a president does and looks at the amount of legislation he was able to put through, policies to get enacted, etc., Obama has been amazingly successful at it.
Lastly, whoever wins the Presidency on their first term will, the vast majority of the time, win the house and the senate. It is called the coattails effect. Then, in the mid-term elections, the opposition to the president are the only ones enthused to vote, so it tends to go to the opposition until the second presidential election. Sometimes it bounces back, sometimes it doesn't. It only gets worse on the 2nd mid-term, then finally restarts with a new president.
That's far from a 100% assurance, but that is the trend.
Check out Neustadt on the way the presidency works. It is pretty much the foundational work in the field. And in regards to presidents being able to act with opposition in the legislation, check out Krehbiel. The two together do a pretty good job of describing the way in which a president is able to do things when the opposition controls the legislature, but why it tends to fail for those without a strong political background.
Thank you for the in-depth clarification of your points. I really appreciate and learned from the specificity of your points about CPIs and other oversight committees. And it appears we agree broadly that the central questions are: what can these newly established mechanisms of accountability actually accomplish under their mandates? And also: what is their recent track record?
I find your contention that the answers are: not much, and not too good, respectively, to be pretty accurate.
Thinking about the recent protests and the widespread cynicism about government in Brazil, it seems to me that one important way in which things could be improved is if those civil society organizations and public agencies concerned with corruption, rights and social justice could be seen to mobilize legal instruments to promote these values.
Lawyers and judges don't do much to change society. In fact, they are usually interested in reinforcing the status quo. But they can have some impact when challenged by other social actors. As the recent experience of many extremely unequal countries like India, South Africa, Brazil, and Colombia show, the legal community can, in some circumstances, be responsive to the demands of the poor when they seek redress through the legal system. (http://www.amazon.ca/Courts-Social-Transformation-Democracies-Institutional/dp/0754647838)
And although legal institutions are also vulnerable to subversion by the powerful, when forced to, they can also trap the privileged, bringing then back to the realm of law.
After some reflection on your arguments, I have to say that I find your claim that there is a relatively strong causal chain linking corruption to an increase in homicides more persuasive than I did at first.
Simply put, it seems to me that one thing corruption can actually be shown to do in terms of data is undermine the rule of law. And there is a very strong statistical correlation between impunity and high incidence of homicide.
So thanks again for giving me something to chew on for a while.
May I ask which news outlet you work for? I have done some work with media organizations in Brazil over the years.
And just a quick word - in English, probably the closest translation to "Capitanias" would be "hereditary fiefs," which you got half of anyway.
Hi, also from the UK so might not be as useful but my lecturer wrote the textbook for us for our criminal module and it is so incredibly thin! Although I'd recommend buying a larger book to supplement it, he made it so straightforward and put little diagrams as the end of each chapter as well, and its only like £3! Nathan Tamblyn - Criminal Law
Our lecturer also wrote the book for contract, but is a lot thicker and goes into a lot of detail! Although this is much better for essays, if you struggle understanding basic concepts (as I did with some bits) this book can be a little overwhelming at time James Devenney - The Modern Law of Contract
For constitutional we used Elliott and Thomas - Public Law again like the contract textbook, this went into a lot of detail!
I'd also recommend (if applicable) using Law Express books to help with revision or if you struggle understanding things, these were really helpful!
A few books
Reflections on the Revolution in France by Burke
The Law by Frédéric Bastiat
The Conservative Mind by Russell Kirke
The Road to Serfdom by Friedrich Hayek
The Righteous Mind by Haidt, not a conservative and not really a conservative book but interesting research by a social psychologist researching morality and it's impact on political opinions.
For websites, magazines, blogs
National Review not quite as good nor as influential as it once was in decades past but still worthwhile.
Instapundit blog by libertarian law professor Glenn Reynolds. Usually links to articles posted elsewhere with a bit of commentary.
I like the The American Interest. Walter Russell Mead is a self declared liberal editing a self declared centrist publication. But much of his writing consists of a critique of what he calls the "blue social model". At this point I think he's well on his way down the road to becoming a (moderate) conservative but just can't bring himself to call himself one.
It takes between 40-60 hours to effectively fight a ticket and win. Is it worth your time?
If you just write a statement and go to a hearing, you will lose.
If you want to burn a work week of time and have some fun “fighting the man” and learn some stuff, then this book is excellent:
https://www.amazon.com/Fight-Your-Ticket-Win-California/dp/1413310303
Nolo press has also been a good resource: https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/free-books/beat-ticket-book/chapter3-4.html
And I even made use of the county law library.
(Source: After getting some BS parking tickets and moving violations, I started fighting them. Lifetime, I have beaten 7 tickets, and lost twice. To win, you have to spend hours and hours preparing and navigating to a real hearing, and I only succeeded b/c of that book and because I practiced and rehearsed with a college buddy who is a lawyer now. The last ticket I got, I just paid, b/c it burns so much time and causes much stress.)
I don't like to advertise but you should read "The Bonfire Of The Liberties: New Labour, Human Rights, and the Rule of Law" by Keith Ewing. He's a constitutional lawyer (and my former lecturer). Very clever man and it is all about that topic.
Here are all the local Amazon links I could find:

Then if you're willing to put in the work, you might have a defense. One great resource is David Browns, "Fight Your Ticket and Win in California." The 2009 version is still valid. It gives a lot of information on the "speed trap" defense. This is where you were cited for 22350 using radar.
But basically if a traffic an engineering survey hasn't been done on that stretch of road within the past 5 years, the radar evidence isn't admissible. And given she was moving at the time, her estimation of your speed is a tough sell.
But before you do all that, plead not guilty by mail, pay the full bail ($367) and request a trial by written declaration.
read Fight Your Ticket & Win in California, which is published by Nolo press. Either get it from Amazon, or find it at a library.
One of the main things I remember that you'll want to do would be to request a copy of the officer's notes. This is a legal requirement and a potential technicality in the making.
> There is no law in space,
This is incorrect. There are treaties, and enough additional space law to write books about it. Space law is fundamentally based on the law of the high seas (waters beyond territorial range of any nation). The high seas have been used for centuries, so there is plenty of precedent for what to do in situations where you are outside the territory of any nation.
One of the basic rules for space is the host country is responsible for the actions of items launched from there, much like ships fly the flag of a host country. So if a satellite crashes on Earth and causes damage, the satellite owner or the host country is responsible. An old interplanetary satellite (ISEE-3) is about to pass by Earth again. Some people wanted to try and revive it and steer it into Earth orbit. They needed to get permission from NASA, who launched it. They couldn't just take control and hijack it.
Good place to start is:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Textbook-International-Law-Martin-Dixon/dp/0199574456/
Info about a Peremptory Challenge can be found here and here. The latter of which is far superior but either would do if that's all you want to learn about.
You were traveling Southbound on State College Blvd and made the U-turn at Nutwood Ave, correct?

For wallstreetbets investors?
Maybe?
At the very least, I would show up to contest it. I don't know if tickets issued by Bart police are handled in the same way as normal tickets, but if so, and if your time is worth less than the cost of the ticket, it's worth it.
First things first, I would buy (and have bought) this book. No, this isn't a traffic ticket, but much of the rules regarding court rules, motions, etc. still apply.
Next, I would show up at my arraignment and would not waive time. One of our rights under the constitution is a "fair and speedy trial". For infractions, this is usually 45 days. If you waive time, you're allowing the court to dick around as much as they want. Also, I would not plead my case at my arraignment. The sixth amendment guarantees us the right to confront our accuser. Unless the officer is there that day, they'll have to set a trial date. I would let them do so. If they try to hear the trial right then and there, see below for the motion I would file to dismiss due to lack of prosecution. (i.e. your accuser.) I would also bring four separately signed and dated copies of the following motions:
Why four copies? One for the court, one to get stamped by the clerk and keep for records/proof (believe me - this is important, more on that later), and two in case the first two get screwed up. It's important to, at the very minimum, file the request/demand for the court reporter at your arraignment, so that when your trial rolls along, one can demonstrate (via the stamped copy we kept - see? important!) that it was requested ahead of time, and gave the court plenty of notice. I've had a judge claim I didn't request it, and didn't plan ahead and get a stamped copy beforehand. Lucky for me, the court clerk corrected the judge!
Odds are, the only motion you'll end up filing that day is the motion requesting a court reporter. But be prepared; you might need more. Once your court date is set, reply to this post and I'll comment some more.
By the way, I'm not a lawyer, and nothing above should be construed as legal advice. It just happens to be what I've used successfully when faced with minor tickets in the past. If you're particularly concerned, go speak to an attourney. I believe (though I'm not certain) that the public defender may handle this case, depending on the specifics. Go find out.
Okay, just for shits and giggles.
