Despite the growing scholarly interest in comparative public law, there remain relatively few works on the subject.Contemporary French Administrative Law aims to redress that imbalance, offering English-language readers an authoritative introduction to the key features of French administrative law and its institutions.The French legal system is among the most well-developed and influential in the world, and, as procedures continually adapt to European and international influences, it has never been more worthy of research, study and interrogation.This book employs a wide range of recent, illustrative cases to demonstrate how French administrative law works both in theory and in practice.Using a systematic approach and covering everything from judicial review to public contracts, this is a highly valuable text for any student or researcher with an interest in French law.The book is also available as Open Access.
