Public Employees and the Right to Disobey

Authors

Robert G. Vaughn

Abstract

The author evaluates arguments for and against judicial recognition of an employee's right to disobey an order believed to be illegal. The proper scope of a right to disobey is examined against a backdrop of the import that recognition of such a right would have on public and private institutions.
