Katzmann, Robert Allen was born in 1953 in New York City.
(The debate over whether the FTC does too much or too litt...)
The debate over whether the FTC does too much or too little raises the fundamental question of how its caseload is determined—a question which is explored at length in this book. The volume, the sixth in the series MIT Studies in American Politics and Public Policy, reveals how the FTC's organizational arrangements affect the distribution of power among the participants in the case selection process, the manner in which information is gathered, the types of data collected, the kinds of policy issues discussed, the choices that are made, and the ways decisions are implemented. The material covered in the book is based on more than 100 interviews the author conducted with commissioners, agency lawyers, economists, the executive director, secretary, and other FTC staff, as well as with Capitol Hill staff, members of the private bar, and agency observers. The Freedom of Information Act was used when necessary to gain access to documents. The book gives particular attention to the FTC's shift of its resources toward the prosecution of "big" structural cases—cases that are designed to attack fundamental market imperfections on an industry-wide basis.

(The Judiciary and Congress not only do not communicate on...)
The Judiciary and Congress not only do not communicate on their most basic concerns; they do not know how they may properly do so, writes Frank M. Coffin, a federal appeals court judge and former representative, in Judges and Legislators. The condition is that of a chronic, debilitating fever. Though the Senate lavishes it's attention from time to time on particular judicial nominees, Congress remains largely oblivious of the wellbeing of the federal judiciary as an institution. And the judiciary seems often unaware of the critical nuances of the legislative process. This state of affairs has had an adverse effect not only on relations between the two branches, but also on public policy more generally. Some forty-five people--including a Supreme Court justice, federal and state court judges, legislators and legislative staffers, scholars, and members of the private bar--gathered for a series of discussion to identify fundamental issues affecting judicial-congressional relations. The articles published in this volume are an outgrowth of those discussions.

Campaigns, Congress, and Courts presents a political history of the passage, judicial interpretation, and administration of federal campaign finance law from 1907 to the present. The volume focuses on the post-Watergate years and analyzes the ideological and partisan conflicts which shape congressional and public debate over how, or whether, to regulate political money. The book opens with an account of the first law, then moves to the Watergate period while explaining the background of the 1970's reforms. Subsequent chapters examine the origin and passage of legislation through case studies, focusing on congressional debates and roll call votes; analyze the arguments of reformers and their opponents in court battles over these laws; demonstrate how the press and public opinion effect the legislative climate; assess the creation of the Federal Election Commission, its quasi-judicial role, and the political cross pressures to which it is subject; and explain the rise of labor and business PACs.

What role should the Senate play in the selection and confirmation of judges? What criteria should be used to evaluate nominees? What kinds of questions and answers are appropriate in confirmation hearings? What problems do judges face as they interpret laws enacted by Congress? And what kinds of communications are proper between judges and legislators? Drawing on the world of scholarship and from personal experience, Robert A. Katzmann examines governance in judicial-congressional relations. After identifying problems, he offers ways to improve understanding between the two branches.

(This book is designed to assist newly appointed police su...)
This book is designed to assist newly appointed police supervisors in developing a leadership style that is effective in today's ever changing culture. The lessons learned are equally applicable to those existing supervisors who wish to sharpen their leadership skills and abilities within their departments. The principles and examples presented have been the basis for both a college-level course on leadership and a ten year ongoing seminar series attended by over a thousand police supervisors. Through constant feedback, candid discussion and follow-up contacts, the authors address the most common problems facing a supervisor, from leadership basics, stress management, media relations, communication and motivation to goal setting and legal issues. The issues are presented in a conversational style with suggested approaches and examples of what works and what doesn't (and why). The benefits gained include better leaders, increased officer competency, and ultimately, a more professional department.

(What did the founding fathers intend by these words from ...)
What did the founding fathers intend by these words from the First Amendment, and how should this amendment be applied to the free exercise of religion today? In School Prayer, Robert Alley examines the history behind the writing of the religion clauses of the First Amendment, the courts' interpretations of these clauses over two centuries, and the debates in Congress over their application, especially as regards prayer in the public schools. Alley begins with an extensive analysis of the writings and actions of James Madison, described as "the architect of the religion clauses" and "the single most important voice for religious liberty in the nation's history." Madison is viewed as a proponent of strict separation between church and state and as opposed to any form of state-sponsored religious establishment. Alley then discusses the history of "protestant hegemony" in the nineteenth century and the attitude of messianism as reflected in presidential pronouncements on the relation of religion to government. All this is presented as background to the debates in the latter half of our own century over the role of prayer in public schools. Alley reviews some thirty years of congressional testimony and key Supreme Court decisions. He gives special attention to the highly controversial Engle v. White decision in 1962, which banned the recitation of a prayer composed by the New York State Board of Regents in public schools. This decision unleashed a storm of protests, which has continued to this day and has given rise to numerous congressional proposals to amend or overturn the Court's ruling. Extensive selections from the arguments on both sides of the controversy afford the reader a firsthand look into the many deliberations surrounding this sensitive and timely matter.
