Law and Public Management—The Human Rights Challenge: Organizing Legal Advice and Litigation: The Human Rights Challenge

Public Money & Management, 2001, vol. 21, issue 3, 13-18

Abstract: In subjecting the activities of government to a further set of relatively precise standards which are judicially enforceable, the Human Rights Act offers a fundamental challenge to the way the executive thinks, further reinforcing and expanding the importance of legal standards as a key discipline of government, at the expense of political responsiveness. This article asks how government's internal legal arrangements—especially for legal advice and litigation—might be affected by this step-change in the importance of law to government.
