This book contains a fundamental compendium of knowledge of the most
important Polish administrative law institutions.
The concept for its construction and the outline of its contents were created
while the author was teaching at Warsaw University. It fulfills the requirement for the
plain transmission of legal content for audiences other than Polish law students. The main
aim of the book is to acquaint English-speaking students with the basic institutions of
Polish political (organizational) administrative law.
From the review:
(...) It is a compendium of information about doctrinal bases and institutions of
the Polish administrative law.
It is intended for English-language readers (non-Polish), studying or practicing the
Polish administrative law. The book is certainly worth publishing and, in consequence,
should soon be made available in this form to all concerned with the subject (...).
