Description
THE LAW OF PUBLIC OFFICERS, as a field of public law, presents many interesting, and a few complicated, precepts – on the qualifications of public functionaries, the methods for their appointment or election, their performance of their broad duties and limited powers, the period for their exercise of their authority, and the termination of their officerships.
This work, written more than six years after its last edition, covers many significant new pronouncements of the Supreme Court on the subject, with a few of them providing for the discarding of what were heretofore reasonably considered as fixed concepts.
