PPA 403 Week 1 DQ 1 Values in Administrative Law
(Ash)   FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.ppa403master.c
om   Values in Administrative Law. In the study
of administrative law it is useful to
differentiate the major values that drive
administrative policies. These include (a)
promoting personal safety, (b) assuring social
and economic justice, and (c) reallocating
wealth. Think of an agency or program in
government that illustrates each of these values
and offer it in this discussion. Where, for
example, does OSHAs regulation of toxic
substances in the workplace fit in this scheme?
Which of these values figure into the government
programs in the three cases in Chapter 2 of your
text? Respond to at least two of your classmates
postings.

m The Federal Register. As you read in Chapter 1
of your text, the federal bureaucracy issues
thousands of administrative rules and policy
statements each year. Visit The Office of the
Federal Register online to view a recent Federal
Register (the document in which agency actions

PPA 403 Week 2 DQ 1 Constitutional Limits on
Agencies (Ash)   FOR MORE CLASSES
VISIT www.ppa403master.com Constitutional Limits
on Agencies. There are several constitutional
limitations on government agency power in order
to protect and preserve individual rights. Let us
consider two of these the freedom to contract
and private property rights. Citing the text,
respond to the following question How is
thefreedom of contract limitation on regulatory

PPA 403 Week 2 DQ 2 Public Access to Information
(Ash)   FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.ppa403master.co
m Public Access to Information. Public access to
information and sunshine laws should be
considered in all communication by all public
servants (whether you are a line staff member or
agency director). Technology adds another
dimension to what is covered under administrative
law in this area. E-mail correspondence can be
requested under the freedom of information laws.
Should e-mail communication among government
officials also have to comply with sunshine laws?
According to most sunshine laws, officials cannot
meet to discuss public business without notifying
the public of the meeting in advance. Consider
the following scenario In the case of Spokane
County, Washington, there are only three county
commissioners, so any communication between any
two of them is automatically a policy-making
majority.

PPA 403 Week 3 DQ 1 Bias in Administrative Law
(Ash)   FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.ppa403master.co
m Bias in Administrative Law. The issue of bias
is an important consideration in administrative
agencies and judicial hearings. Discuss whether
it is ethical for a judge to have personal ties
with someone about whom they will be making a
legal decision. Consider the following questions
in your response Does professionalism offer
adequate checks and balances against bias in
decision making? Should judges recuse themselves
from decisions involving people with whom they
have a personal relationship? Since situations
often depend on the specific circumstances, are
there circumstances in which you think a judge
should definitely recuse him or herself? Are
there other situations in which you think it may
not be necessary? Respond to at least two of your
classmates postings .

employment policies are often misunderstood. Many

opportunity to see what agencies are doing in
this area and report on your findings. In your
