Legislative law and process in a nutshell
346 pages. Updated by new edition.
This book describes the process used by all legislative institutions to refine bills, and examines the tactics of advocates that speed or impede legislation. The life of legislative law after enactment is detailed, including how agencies, local governments, and businesses use statutes and how citizens, lawyers, and courts adjust legislative words to fit life's realities.
