Excellent Administrative Law Text March 22, 2008
Jerome Scanlan (Washington, DC)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've read about 8-10 books in this series. Most are good to very good, although a few (which is "a lot" for a publisher of this size) contain numerous typographical errors, the worst example being the constitutional law text, which was riddled with mistakes that couldn't have been made solely by the authors even in an unproofread first draft.
Werhan's book ranks with Murphy's on international law as models of what can be accomplished by capable scholars in short texts of this kind. In less than 400 pages, Werhan thoroughly covers the main areas of administrative law, explaining complex material clearly and in a manner that never leaves the reader confused even where the case law is contradictory. The book is probably most useful to someone with a good foundation in administrative law simply because the material is difficult, but a beginner can always read the book twice (and of course the main cases). Whatever you already know about administrative law, you won't regret the time spent reading this short book.
