Full Description


This new book examines the source of the congressional contempt power, briefly reviews the historical development of early court decisions, outlines the statutory and constitutional limitations on the contempt power, and analyses the procedures associated with each of the three different types of contempt proceedings (inherent contempt, statutory criminal contempt and statutory civil contempt) which can be employed. Also touched upon are the special procedural and constitutional problems encountered when the contempt power is used against an executive branch official.
