The Evolving Use and the Changing Role Of Interstate Compacts: A Practitioner's Guide This book seeks to fill the existing void in this emerging area of law by addressing both the theoretical principles behind interstate compacts and the very practical implications of operating in the compact environment. It is intended to serve not only as a reference for lawyers, but also as a practical guide for legislators, drafters, compact administrators, students, and other parties interested in the development of, or subject to interstate compacts. Thus, some chapters provide a theoretical basis for compacts, while other chapters seek to provide a very practical perspective on compacts and the potential issues one may face in working with interstate compacts or litigating under such agreements. Finally, the book also seeks to provide both practitioners of the law and others with a perspective on the complexity of compacts and their interaction with other agreements, state laws, and federal laws. $99.95 |
