Review

"This book is a polished ethical gem. . . . It is a thought provoking 'must read' for every individual on a personal ethical journey, whether educator, student, or civil servant."--Review of Public Personnel Administration

"John Rohr is the clearest and strongest voice in the contemporary study of ethics for public service, and Public Service, Ethics, and Constitutional Practice is his finest work. In it Rohr brings together constitutional and legal perspectives on ethics, the place of education and training in professional ethics, and, to top it off, compares American, British, and French perspectives on public service ethics."--H. George Fredrickson, author of The Spirit of Public Administration and editor of Ethics and Public Administration

"John Rohr is widely regarded as one of the preeminent ethics and constitutional scholars in the United States. In this book he continues his lifelong project of encouraging both academicians and practitioners to appreciate the link between ethical behavior and our constitutional tradition. He seeks to create a 'frame of mind' that will guide their decision making--a frame of mind governed by a complex understanding of constitutional principles. The publication of these essays in one volume is a great service to the public administration community."--Larry D. Terry, author of The Leadership of Public Bureaucracies: The Administrator as Conservator
