I boken presenterar sex regeringsråd Regeringsrättens avgöranden i förvaltningsmål under åren 2001-2007. Var och en täcker in en tremånadersperiod och baserar sin artikel på det material i form av domar och beslut som domstolens kansli tillhandahållig regeringsråden. Av särskilt intresse är att domare, som tagit aktiv del i materialets tillkomst, ger till känna hur de uppfattar innebörden och betydelsen av Regeringsrättens avgöranden. Om målen finns upptagna i Regeringsrättens årsbok, hänvisas till referat- och notisnummer i denna publikation. I annat fall redovisas ett mål med enbart målnummer. Boken har försetts med ett rättsfallsregister och ett omfattande sakregister.
