The fourth edition of Government Contract Law is a comprehensive, step
by step guide through all aspects of federal government contracting and
incorporates numerous significant changes in procurement since the Third
Edition was published.
Based on the Contract Attorney's course of The Judge Advocate General's
Law Center and School, this valuable deskbook is designed to help you
safely navigate the entire federal contracting process -- from
pre-bidding through award, and on to protest and litigation -- with the
least risk to your client or company.
Since the last edition, there have been many changes in government
contract law. The executive branch has implemented several policy
initiatives through the power of federal contracting, including revised
labor policies. Similarly, Congress has implemented changes, including
regulation of contractor business systems, trafficking in persons, and
provisions addressing problems that have been identified in the past
decade such as perceived misuse of commercial items. What has not
changed is the basic system of acquiring goods and services.
This fourth edition of the ABA's revisions to the Judge Advocate
General's Legal Center and School's Contract Law Deskbook, includes
updates to references, new chapters (which do not appear in the JAG
School's version) as well as chapter revisions that include material
that is useful to contractor attorneys and the private bar. This edition
has been expanded and can be used by military attorneys as well as
practitioners who are not a part of the military.
