Abstract
This paper compares the different perspectives of three historians and political philosophers, James Weinstein, James Q. Wilson, and Ronen Shamir, regarding American federal and state administrative regulation and how it has evolved over time.
From the Paper
"The historians and political philosophers James Weinstein, James Q. Wilson, and Ronen Shamir, would no doubt all agree that a seismic shift occurred during the turn of the century in America, in terms of the way individual rights were conceptualized, and continued to become prioritized over the course of the century from a legal and political perspective. During this period of time, America shifted from an America without a federal income tax, an America where the Bill of Rights was only strictly applicable to federal rather than state legislation, to a nation with a complex civil rights system of litigation and a bureaucratic tax and federal civil service structure. Over the course of the century and afterwards, legislation was passed to make American industry more humane, and to change the integration of women and blue-collar workers into the American nation. The 20th century saw changes as women began to vote, and worker?s rights became protected in the capitalist system, and African-American rights were guaranteed legally and legislatively. The political and economic, as well as legal reasons behind this shift, however, remain controversial."

Abstract
This paper provides a background and overview of the cases involved, followed by an examination of how the legal consciousness of "NLRB vs. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp." challenged the court?s previous positions as exemplified in "Munn vs. Illinois" and "Lochner vs. New York." A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"In NLRB vs. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp., Chief Justice Hughes delivered the opinion of the Court. The NLRB had determined Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. (?Jones?) violated the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 by firing employees at its Aliquippa, Pennsylvania plant who had engaged in union activities. It ordered reinstatement and other relief. The court of appeals refused to enforce the Supreme Court?s orders because it maintained the matter was not subject to federal jurisdiction. The Supreme Court reversed. The legal question in this case was whether the labor matter was in fact subject to federal intervention, with the ultimate decision being it was."

Abstract
This paper presents a professional manual for employees of a specific administrative agency. It briefly looks at administrative law and the procedures the department should avoid to ensure that no legal problems arise. Specifically, the paper outlines the concepts of discretion, credibility (and how applicant credibility is to be determined), standards with regards to bias (that is to say, what will henceforth be expected of subordinate decision-makers) and the extent of duty that will now be expected from all employees.
From the Paper
"Before leaving the issue of credibility, I wish also to point out the manner in which concerns about an applicant's credibility are to be spelled out. Henceforth, if there is a suspicion of deceit, precise instances of deception and contradiction must be noted in the final judgment. As well, particulars and context must be provided whenever a claimant cannot answer a question; in other words, if the client was unable to provide certain information because of extenuating circumstances, that needs to be highlighted. Finally, all decisions rendered by an adjudicator must be carefully examined by that adjudicator to ensure that logical fallacies, inconsistencies and contradictions are not present in the text of the decision - and that there is a complete apprehension of all the facts of the case by the adjudicator. For a good example of precisely the sort of thorough, post-mortem examination of their decisions that I want my adjudicators to undertake (especially with regards to decisions about the credibility of an applicant), please see the court decision in Hilo v. Canada (1991)."

Abstract
This paper analyzes parliamentary control over administrative rule-making in India. It describes the various classifications of administrative action and then briefly defines the meaning of administrative rule-making. Next, the paper provides some insight into the concept of why administrative rule-making is necessary in the administration of the country. The paper then looks at the kinds of parliamentary control imposed over the administrative rule-making so as to keep a perfect balance between its power of delegation and its ultimate authority. Finally, the paper compares the situation in India and the United States.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Chapter 1- Administrative Rule-Making: Meaning and Concept
Chapter 2 - Parliamentary control over Administrative Rule-Making
Chapter 3- A Comparative Study of the Parliamentary Control over Administrative Rule-Making: India and USA
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The position of our country regarding the same has already been discussed in the previous chapter. In this chapter, the same shall be discussed regarding USA. The position in the United States is significantly different. For the U.S. Congress operates under a written constitution and the courts have the authority to interpret the Constitution and thereby declaring a congressional ruling unconstitutional if it conflicts with their views of the Constitution. Also the doctrine of 'delegaus non potest delegare' holds in United States, which means that a delegate cannot further delegate its powers. Thus, the Congress being a delegate of the people cannot further entrust its powers to any other agency."

Abstract
This paper discusses the case of "Michael Hegarty and Joseph Hoff v. the Township of Old Bridge Ethics Board, Division of Local Government Services and Department of Community Affairs". It discusses the history of the make-up of the boards, the background of the case and the ruling which found that the Local Ethics Board had violated the petitioners' rights to due process.
From the Paper
"Hoff argued that the proceedings against him were unconstitutional. He made this claim based on the fact that the Ethics Board was created with an ordinance that requires three of its members to be clergymen, thus not allowing for the separation of church and state as so required by the first amendment. He further stated that not enough members were present to vote on the issue in the first place. The Ethics Board countered, stating that neither the Township of Old Bridge nor any independent local authority may permit the hiring of a former member of that authority for compensation. Three quarters of the Ethics Board were present for the meeting, which the board felt to be adequate. The Ethics Board also pointed out that only the New Jersey Superior Court has jurisdiction to resolve this issue, not an ALJ or the Local Finance Board."

Abstract
This paper addresses both Zipf's Law and Benford's Law. It describes the theories of each law in detail and discusses how they can be applied to various situations. It describes Zipf's Law as not a theoretical law, but rather an experimental law. The paper then discusses the significance of these two laws to the field of mathematics.
From the Paper
"However, there is some lack of precision where this is concerned. Most items have to occur a number of times that is actually an integer (Li, n.d.). In other words, a word that is seen within a document cannot appear in that document 2.5 number of times. It either must appear, in this example, 2 times or three times, since there cannot be an area of the document where only 1/2 of the word appears. Despite the fact that there is some variation and lack of precision, however, when wide ranges are examined and one only desires to have a relatively close approximation, many of the natural phenomena that are seen in this world do obey Zipf's law (Li, n.d.). This is seen to hold true as long as the individual examining the issue is not looking for scientific precision and will accept the slight variation that is seen."

Case Law and Statute Law, 2005.
A theoretical comparison of these two sources of English law.

Abstract
This paper attempts to define the differences between England's common and statute laws. It looks at how the laws are formed as well as their fundamental purpose. It examines how statute is interpreted and acted upon by the courts and how it follows that precedents are formed as new cases arise. It also demonstrates how over time, statute will become part of common law as judges follow previous decisions in new cases where applicable.
From the Paper
"For political bills or proposals to become statute, that is to become Acts of Parliament, they must first be debated in the House of Commons (this is made up of elected representatives of the wider public, Members of Parliament or MPs). However, this is just the start if the process: the proposed legislation must then be accepted by MPs by way of a successful vote and further ratified by acceptance in the House of Lords. The House of Lords is the supreme court in Britain and may refuse to pass the law; but a bill can be forced through using the Parliament Act if such action is deemed necessary for Parliament to fulfil its obligation to make laws in the best interests of the nation.

Social Law and Statutory Law, 2006.
An overview of the juvenile justice system in the U.S. and how it deals with juvenile delinquency.
932 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the juvenile justice system in the United States, explaining the reasons why it is separated from the regular crime system and how it is influenced by the political and social conditions of the state. Particular attention is paid to the juvenile justice system in California and how the system has increasingly focused on incarceration rather than rehabilitation. Finally, the paper discusses evidence indicating that mental health services at an early age are highly effective in treating potential juvenile offenders and turning them away from a life of crime.
From the Paper
"The main object of separating the juvenile justice system from the regular crime system had been on the assumption that minors were different from adults in their ability to make decisions and understand consequences, "The juvenile justice system has evolved over the years based on the premise that juveniles are different from adults and juveniles who commit criminal acts generally should be treated differently from adults" (Roberts, 2005). It was observed that the younger the offender, the more likely that a repeat offense would be stopped and a change in behavior would be observed. It was, therefore, thought that youngsters should be given the benefit of the doubt and should not be treated as adult offenders."

Competency to Stand Trial in American Law and New York Law, 2000.
A brief look at the notion of competency or fitness to stand trial, as the notion has been shaped and changed since the 1960s.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"The history of the doctrine of competency to stand trial arose in English common law out of a concern for fairness in the trial of accused persons who, if found guilty of criminal charges, would suffer deprivations of liberty and other penalties. One of the earliest United States Supreme Court cases (Dusky v. United States,1960) determined that a defendant's competency to stand trial depended on "whether he has sufficient present ability to consult with his lawyer with a reasonable degree of rational understanding" and "whether he has a rational as well as factual understanding of the proceedings against him"."

Abstract
This paper introduces the issue of public administration and then discusses four major theories of public administration: the Hamiltonian Tradition, the Jeffersonian Tradition, the Madisonian Tradition, and Wilsonian Tradition. The paper then compares these traditions and provides an analysis of the traditions and today?s U.S. executive administration.
From the Paper
"Alexander Hamilton?s insistence on a strong executive branch was not based solely on his desire to push his own philosophy of public administration on the young nation. He had seen the failure of the Articles of Confederation in its attempt to solidify the country; states quarreled about everything before ratifying the Articles, and some even went out on a limb and had their own foreign policy. States couldn?t agree on paying for a national army, nor on taxation and spending. Hamilton?s balancing act was, how does the country create an executive ?powerful enough to make the government strong? (Kettl, page 30) and yet how does the country prevent a concentration of too much authority and power in the White House? Hamilton had plenty of experience in executive decision-making, as he was the very first treasury secretary in the nation; and it was his authorship of documents on public credit, national banking, and manufacturing that later formed the basis of the executive branch of national government."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Prior to the late 1990's, the skills needed by an administrative professional or secretary were typing speeds of a minimum of 60 words per minute, utilizing dictation equipment and taking shorthand. Today, being successful as an Administrative Professional means that you must have the skills of tomorrow, today. The paper shows that there are various obstacles that administrative professionals will face while advancing in their careers, including the skills needed as an entry level administrative professional, the obstacles that the administrative professional faces on the climb up the corporate ladder and the role that the administrative professional will play in the office of the future.
From the Paper
"Today, skills need to be learned by continuing education and attending training classes in order to keep up on the new technologies. Many professionals entering the industry look to the many local temporary placement agencies to assist them in obtaining the skills needed. Many of these companies offer training courses while allowing the Administrative Professional to gain valuable working experience as a temporary employee for various companies. This flexible schedule will allow entry level Administrative Professionals to obtain basic skills through such devices as community college programs, including Office Technology and Business Administration/Management and attending seminars."

The Deprivation of Civil Rights: The Final Solution and the Purely Aryan State, and Further Examples of Where Nuremberg and Jim Crow Differ
Conclusion
From the Paper
"This huge disparity can be best explained by referring back to one of the most predominant differences in the purposes of the racially hierarchical systems in place in each country. The Jim Crow laws were passed because Southern state lawmakers were struggling to protect and preserve the white supremacy that they had always lived with, and prevent African-American advancement as a necessary part of this objective. Yet in Germany, the Nazi party's goal was always the total extermination of all undesirables, including Jews, and the legislative deprivation of citizenship was at least in some respects merely a means to that end. Finally, to go along with this fundamental difference, there is one last similarity between the racial laws of these countries: the painful memories of both the Holocaust and the Jim Crow era, and all of the violations of rights, liberties and freedoms that comprised both of these experiences, are certainly still fresh in the recollection of all nations involved, and are still highly prominent historical issues today even as those who lived through these events are increasingly no longer with us."
