Title: THE ROLE OF RESEARCH IN LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY
Accession Number: 00238723
Record Type: Component
Abstract: THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN RESEARCH AND OPERATIONS OF HIGHWAY LAW MAKERS AND ADMINISTRATORS ARE DISCUSSED. THE HIGHWAY LAWYER MUST BE ABLE TO PRESENT THE HIGHWAY AGENCY'S POSITION ON LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS. THE HIGHWAY COUNSEL MUST BE AN ADVOCATE IN THE PREPARATION AND ENACTMENT OF LEGISLATION. CONFIDENCE AND INFORMATION ARE FOOTHOLDS FOR THE LEGISLATIVE ADVOCATE. BY DRAWING ON RESEARCH BEING CONDUCTED BY THE STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT, BY UNIVERSITIES, BY THE U.S. BUREAU OF PUBLIC ROADS, BY THE CONGRESS, COUNSEL CAN PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE, ANALYZED INFORMATION ON LITERALLY EVERY CONTROVERSIAL ISSUE INVOLVED IN THE PREPARATION AND ENACTMENT OF MODERN HIGHWAY LAWS. THE FOLLOWING TECHNIQUES ARE DISCUSSED WHICH MAY BE USED BY COUNSEL FOR THE STATE HIGHWAY AGENCY: LIAISON, LEGISLATIVE INTERPRETATION, STATUTORY REVISION, TOOLS OF INTERPRETATION AND RESOURCES OF LAW REVISION. WITH THESE TOOLS, THE HIGHWAY LAWYER MAY ESTABLISH THE LEGISLATIVE AID FOR PROPER DECISION-MAKING.
