Select a state or federal case that has had an impact on public administration.

Instructions

To prepare:

• Using Legal Research Resources, found in this week’s Learning Resources, select a state or federal case that has had an impact on public administration. Consider its impact and what recommendations you might make to policies, considering this case. 

POST

Post a description of the case you selected. Make sure you provide the correct Bluebook citation for this case. Explain at least one outcome of this case on public administration. Using previous case law, explain what recommendations you might make to policies, considering this case, that either support or refute the outcomes. Finally, explain how you might use this case to inform your work as a leader in the public sector. (Note: Every initial post should include an in-text Bluebook citation, if referencing cases, as well as a citation in the Reference List.)

Also Note: Be sure to support your posts using appropriate legal sources and the proper Bluebook citation format (e.g., using the Learning Resources, Bluebook citation resource, and/or Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association [7th ed., Chapter 11]. Use the “Types of Legal Research Sources” document, located in the Learning Resources. Also, use proper APA format and citations, including those in the Learning Resources.
