This second edition of the handbook is an updated and revised version which contains a description of the basic regulations of administrative law and its doctrine in Poland.In most cases this book relies on traditional terminology accepted by the Polish science of administrative law. Some efforts will, however, be needed to standardize certain Polish, European and American legal terms and definitions.“ It is a compendium of information about doctrinal bases and institutions of the Polish administrative law. It is intended for English-language reader, studying or practicing Polish administrative law. This book is consequently worth publishing and should soon be made available in this form to all concerned with the subject(…)”Prof .
