The Legislative Reference Bureau (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from The Legislative Reference Bureau<br/><br/>Probably there is no legislative body in any country in the world but has some sort of library for the use of its members in the discharge of their duties. A few parliamentary libraries are among the most valuable collections of books in the world, as notably the library of the Ger man Reichstag, with its rare wealth in the field of comparative jurisprudence. But a legislative reference bureau aims to be something more than a library, more even than a library properly cataloged, amply indexed, and rendered easily accessible. If its functions are fully developed, it must be an indispensable part of the law making and administrative machinery of the commonwealth. In order to show why there is a special and peculiar needfor this in the United States, a brief glance will'be necessary at the manner in which laws are enacted in this country as compared with others.
