Mr. Justice Brandeis and the creation of the federal register 2001 p.359-74 May-Jun The creation of the Federal Register in 1935 was crucial in enhancing transparency in American national government and its accountability under law. This historic action during the troubled New Deal era established a core institutional framework that endures as the nation begins a new century and as public administration struggles with an era of new institutionalism. Drawing on archival records and interviews, this article examines the political, administrative, and legal factors that led to the Register's creation. In particular, it sheds light on the little known but pivotal role played by Justice Brandeis in an extrajudicial capacity in this process. Brandeis's actions derive, in part, from his lifelong concern for fostering government openness and ensuring accountability under law from government bureaucracy. Without his intervention, it is unlikely the Federal Register Act would have been enacted at the time and in its important institutional form. - Reproduced Public administration Public Administration Review 48985 48985 48985 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 61, Issue no: 3 AR49413 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
