Description

The Evolving Law and Use of Interstate Compacts 2nd Edition Michael L Buenger ISBN 9781634257534

Interstate compacts play a vital—yet often overlooked—role in shaping relationships among the states and between the states and the federal government. They provide durable solutions to complex, multistate policy challenges, including law enforcement and corrections across state lines, pollution control, natural resource management, child protection, regional transportation, and professional licensing.

The Evolving Law and Use of Interstate Compacts examines the legal foundations and practical realities of these powerful governance tools. The book explains the theoretical principles underlying interstate compacts, outlines best practices for developing and drafting them, and explores the operational implications of working within a compact-regulated framework. It also analyzes the distinct body of law governing interstate compacts, including unresolved issues, conflicts, emerging trends, and areas of legal uncertainty.

Drawing on nearly a century of combined experience, the authors offer a comprehensive examination of both the legal doctrine and the real-world application of interstate compacts. The book includes in-depth discussions of litigation involving compacts, the rights and obligations of compacting parties, and the roles and responsibilities of compact agencies.

Serving as both an authoritative legal reference and a practical guide, this volume is an essential resource for lawyers, legislators, policymakers, compact drafters and administrators, and students seeking to understand and work effectively with interstate compacts.
