As its name suggests, a quasi-judicial decision is like a court decision in several important ways. It requires the deciding board to use its judgment in applying general law to a particular land use situation while ensuring the constitutional due process rights of the parties. This handbook is designed as a guide for boards making development regulation decisions through the quasi-judicial process. The discussion covers the process prior to, during, and after the evidentiary hearing as well as the decision itself. Other topics include the board of adjustment, variances, special use permits, certificates of appropriateness, appeals of zoning determinations, and judicial review. A package of 5 books is available for a discounted price for those looking to purchase copies for their entire board.

As its name suggests, a quasi-judicial decision is like a court decision because it requires the deciding board to use its judgment in applying general law to a particular land use situation while ensuring the constitutional due process rights of the parties. The Quasi-Judicial Handbook provides guidance to the boards in North Carolina that make these development regulation decisions. It outlines the steps that need to be followed before, during, and after an evidentiary hearing and closely examines the decision-making process itself. Four types of quasi-judicial decisions are explored in detail: variances, special use permits, certificates of appropriateness, and appeals of zoning determinations. Other topics include the role and organization of boards of adjustment and judicial review. This revised edition incorporates statutory and case law updates through July 2023, including the adoption of Chapter 160D in 2019.

The global landscape has changed profoundly over the past decades. As a result, the making of international law and the way we think about it has become more and more diversified.

The editors have taken an approach which carefully combines theory and practice in order to provide both an overview and a critical reflection of international lawmaking. Comprehensive and well-structured, the book contains essays by leading scholars on key aspects of international lawmaking and on lawmaking in the main issue areas. Attention is paid to classic processes as well as new developments and shades of normativity. This timely and authoritative Handbook will be a valuable resource for academics, students, legal practitioners, diplomats, government and international organization officials as well as civil society representatives.

"Chapter 160D of the North Carolina General Statutes is the first major recodification and modernization of city and county development regulations since 1905. The endeavor was initiated by the Zoning and Land Use Section of the N.C. Bar Association in 2013 and emanated from the section's rewrite of the city and county board of adjustments statute earlier that year. This bill summary and its many footnotes are intended to help citizens and local governments understand and navigate these changes."--Page vii.
