Law And Public Administration In Ireland, Fiona Donson, Darren O'Donovan
Law And Public Administration In Ireland, Fiona Donson, Darren O'Donovan
Darren O'Donovan
Extract: It is often said that administrative law is notoriously difficult to study and to teach because its doctrines are abstract and nuanced, moving across a wide array of statutes and aspects of legal practice. This book is an attempt to defend administrative law as an exciting and dynamic subject which is central to meeting the future challenges facing Irish public governance. Law and Public Administration in Ireland inevitably focuses heavily upon judicial review, as the central aspect of the legal regulation of governance, providing a firm backstop against government abuse of power. In our account of the grounds of …

Opening Doors: Preventing Youth Homelessness Through Housing And Education Collaboration, Courtney L. Anderson
Opening Doors: Preventing Youth Homelessness Through Housing And Education Collaboration, Courtney L. Anderson
Courtney L Anderson
This article will contribute to the general literature on homelessness by recommending that permanent supportive housing units for homeless children, youth and families provide education services in order to prevent and end homelessness among families, youth and children. I will explain how the legal framework for such housing requires a broad interpretation of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, and assert that federal programs provide a foundation for the creation of such housing. Identifying and educating homeless youth is particularly challenging as the majority of homeless youth live on the streets or in the homes of others, suffer from serious mental …

"Offer To Sell" As A Policy Tool, Lucas S. Osborn
"Offer To Sell" As A Policy Tool, Lucas S. Osborn
Lucas S. Osborn
Gone are the days when the term “offer” is confined to first-year contracts courses and the intricacies of contract formation. The offer concept has quietly migrated throughout the law. It now regulates behavior in areas as diverse as criminal law, environmental law, securities law, and intellectual property law. Despite its wide diffusion, the offer concept remains largely unstudied as a legal concept outside of its contract-law environment. This Article begins to fill that gap. The Article begins by deconstructing the meaning of a traditional contract-law “offer” to determine its policy role in contract law, and then compares that role with …

The Federal Government’S Ability To Respond To A Major Terrorist Attack: Issues, Concerns And Inadequacies In The Disaster Law Construct, M. Jonathan Gil
The Federal Government’S Ability To Respond To A Major Terrorist Attack: Issues, Concerns And Inadequacies In The Disaster Law Construct, M. Jonathan Gil
Michael J Gil
The cunning and zeal of the world’s terrorist organizations require that this country prepare itself for large-scale disaster relief operations. As it stands, the Stafford Act, as well as federal and local government policies are lacking. The federal government has floundered in past situations, and Americans have died as a result. In order to remedy these shortcomings, the government should take two different stances: hands on, and hands off. The hands-on approach is designed to address the shortfalls of past disaster response and the current system, while the hands-off approach is designed to allow the entire relief operation to operate …
The Abortion Informed Consent Debate: More Light, Less Heat, Nadia N. Sawicki
The Abortion Informed Consent Debate: More Light, Less Heat, Nadia N. Sawicki
Nadia N. Sawicki
State abortion informed consent laws – including those requiring physicians to disclose that abortion terminates the life of a “whole, separate, unique, living human being” or display ultrasound images to patients seeking abortions – are being adopted at a rapid pace. Health law scholars who oppose these laws uniformly criticize them as being fundamentally inconsistent with the doctrine of informed consent. This Article directly challenges this conventional approach. It argues that the doctrine of informed consent does not impose nearly as significant a barrier to abortion disclosure laws as many critics claim. Rather, the ethical and legal principles of informed …
