Description
This book examines how documentation, timelines, and procedural structure shape fairness in public administration. Through a scholarly analysis of municipal procedure, it explores how delay, recordkeeping, and communication influence legal outcomes. Focusing on Notice of Claim requirements, Article 78 review, CPLR 3211 motions, and public records law, the book presents administrative law as a system of practice rather than theory. It highlights how procedural integrity supports accountability, transparency, and democratic governance. Designed for researchers, public employees, and civic readers, this work offers a clear framework for understanding how administrative systems operate and how strong documentation practices strengthen institutional credibility.
