For most bills in American legislatures, the issue of turf?or which committee has jurisdiction over a bill?can make all the difference. Turf governs the flow and fate of all legislation. In this innovative study, David C. King explains how jurisdictional areas for committees are created and changed in Congress. Political scientists have long maintained that jurisdictions are relatively static, changing only at times of dramatic reforms. Not so, says King. Combining quantitative evidence with interviews and case studies, he shows how on-going turf wars make jurisdictions fluid. According to Kin.

This book, by two of the world's leading administrative law scholars, reimagines administrative law as the law of public administration by making its competence the focus of administrative law. Grounded in extensive interdisciplinary, historical, and doctrinal analysis, Fisher and Shapiro show why understanding both the capacity and authority of expert public administration is crucial to ensure the legitimacy and accountability of the administrative state. To address the current precarious state of administrative law, they support a new study of the administrative process by an Attorney Generals Committee on Administrative Procedure leading to a revised Administrative Procedure Act (APA). This book is a must-read for anyone interested in administrative law and its reform.

Canon 1371, 2° calls for a just penalty to be imposed upon one who is persistently disobedient to a command or prohibition imposed by the apostolic see, an ordinary or other superior. With the goal of arriving at an authentic understanding of the canon, this work begins with a study of the fonts attributed to it. Consisting of decisions rendered by the pope or a dicastery. A historical approach continues in chapter two, with an examination of relevant CIC 1917 legislation. In addition to a detailed analysis of canon 1371, 2°, this work considers jurisprudence of the Roman Curia, presented under the themes of disobedience to the Apostolic See or to one's ordinary; the value and importance of obedience; the need for competent authority to be vigilant and intervene when necessary; and how this intervention can serve as a pastoral instrument for the salvation of souls. This work also undertakes a contemporary and practical reading of canon 1371, 2°, pointing out that the precept or prohibition imposed must be legitimate, that persistent disobedience must be present, and that the imposed penalty is to be just. It offers conclusions as to be why the canon is important for the Church today. Obedience to competent authority on the part of the Christian faithful provides a healthy example to those outside the Church and can help protect the faithful. Proper implementation of what is called for in canon 1371, 2° can prevent more grave disobedience in the future and promote good order in the Church

Competence-competence and corruption have, for different reasons, been mainstays of international dispute resolution thought and practice for the longest time. In the last few years, their intersection has become increasingly important and problematic. These lectures seek to define the problem and to provide acceptable solutions where possible. They attempt to derive support from both a stringent dogmatic approach and pragmatic attention to real-life expectations and conduct. More so than in other areas of private international law, the intersection between the powers of the arbitrator and the illegality of the subject matter or the parties' conduct poses a particular challenge. That challenge is to postulate proper solutions under the law, including principles of transnational or international law, to conduct which can take on a multiplicity of appearances owing to conflicting cultural understandings of what is and is not legal in commercial life. The statement that bribery and corruption offend transnational or international public policy does not relieve the arbitrator from the burden of scrutinizing that statement doctrinally and exploring its consequences in a period of ever-increasing globalization of economic activity and investment
