Handbook of the Law of Municipal Corporations

Handbook of the Law of Municipal Corporations, Volume 37 of the Hornbook Series, by Roger William Cooley, offers a comprehensive examination of the legal principles governing municipal corporations. This treatise, originally published in 1914, provides a detailed overview of the structure, powers, and liabilities of cities, towns, and villages. Cooley meticulously covers a broad range of topics, including the creation and alteration of municipal boundaries, the exercise of municipal powers, the law of municipal contracts, and the remedies available to and against municipal corporations.

Designed as a practical resource for legal professionals and students, this handbook presents a systematic analysis of the key legal issues affecting municipalities. With its clear and concise exposition of legal doctrines, Handbook of the Law of Municipal Corporations remains an invaluable reference for understanding the legal framework of local government. Though written over a century ago, the foundational principles discussed still provide valuable insight into current municipal law.
