Description: "Written for both paralegal and court tribunal agent college courses, more than half of this administrative law text is devoted to advocacy. Students will learn the procedures they need to know in order to prepare and successfully argue cases before administrative tribunals. The different functions and characteristics of various tribunals under municipal, provincial, and federal legislation are described, and the rules of evidence, as applicable in an administrative law context, are explained. Administrative law principles, such as procedural fairness and reasonable apprehension of bias are made simple, with straightforward language and practical examples. Summaries of key cases have been added at the ends of many chapters to further illustrate legal concepts and to be used as a jumping-off point for student research projects."--pub. desc.
