The Principles of the Administrative Law Governing the Relations of Public Officers (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781616194260)

A Breakthrough Treatise on Administrative Law. With a New Introduction by Kevin M. Stack, Professor of Law, Vanderbilt University Law School. XXX (new introduction III-XXX), x, 641 pp. Originally Published: St. Paul: Keefe-Davidson Company, 1903. "Bruce Wyman's treatise on administrative law, The Principles of the Administrative Law Governing the Relations of Public Officers (1903), provides the first development in American legal thought of the idea that the primary grounds of administrative legality are the internal practices and procedures that agencies adopt to structure their own exercise of discretion, as opposed to the standards and forms of judicial review. Wyman's conception was remarkable for its day. At the end of the nineteenth century, many scholars, including Wyman's colleagues at Harvard Law School, identified law with judicial decisions. But Wyman, writing a mere three years after his graduation from and subsequent appointment to the faculty of Harvard Law School, did not focus on 'the external law of administration' imposed by courts, but rather mined 'internal administrative law' created by agencies as the 'real subject' of inquiry and source of administrative legality." --Kevin M. Stack, III.
