Congress of the United States
Author: Carol S. PlesserPublisher: Nova Publishers
ISBN: 9781600218552
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
This new book focuses on the Congress of the United States which has evolved continuously since its founding. Although critics abound, both in and outside congress itself, it is most certainly true that the tasks and responsibilities assigned to Congress present a challenge to an organisation which is sometimes unwieldy to say the least. Information has become so ubiquitous in the age of the internet that Congress seems to struggle to keep up. Congress is largely run by the permanent staff which is now in excess of 30,000 people. It is pushed, pulled and jerked by lobbying groups whose interests are more often than not in opposition to the best interests of the majority of the population.
Statutory Construction and Interpretation
Author: Publisher: The Capitol Net Inc
ISBN: 1587332132
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
This book reviews the primary rules courts apply to discern a statute's meaning. However, each matter of interpretation before a court presents its own challenges, and there is no unified, systematic approach used in all cases. While schools of statutory interpretation may vary on what factors should be considered, all approaches start (if not necessarily end) with the language and structure of the statute itself. In analyzing a statute's text, courts are guided by the basic principle that a statute should be read as a harmonious whole, with its separate parts being interpreted within their broader statutory context.
