Fowler School of Law Professor Noyes Publishes New Book “The Law of Direct Democracy”

Professor Henry S. Noyes’ book
The Law of Direct Democracy
was published by Carolina Academic Press.

As stated by the publisher, ”
The Law of Direct Democracy
is the first casebook on direct democracy. This book uses state and federal judicial opinions, the text of ballot initiatives, statutes and constitutional provisions to compare and contrast the various state laws that govern the ballot initiative, the referendum and the recall. This book also contemplates the role of interest groups, voters, courts and elected officials and examines their ability to utilize, influence and limit the initiative process. It provides students and instructors both the information they need to learn the law of direct democracy and the tools to pursue further inquiry on discrete topics of interest.”
