THE problems of administrative law, of " droit administratif" and of administrative jurisdiction are arousing much discussion in this country and in the United States. This is the result of the development of the modern State, the structure of which is characterised in all countries by an increased importance of the Executive and, therefore, of the Civil Service. But I do not wish to take part here in this highly interesting controversy about Anglo-Saxon law and political science. I hope to do so later. To-day I am only concerned to show the development and the present state of one considerable part of this problem in my country, i.e. the administrative jurisdiction of Germany.
