Abstract In this paper, I discuss choices concerning the legal content for interpreting students based on the syllabus of a lecture on Legal Interpreting in the Master of Arts in Conference Interpreting at the University of Leipzig. The topics were chosen on the basis of the professional experience of sworn interpreters in Germany. The aim is to prepare students for working in the different legal contexts (court, police, notary public, prison, psychiatric hospital, public administration etc.) in Germany by offering basic legal knowledge in those fields. Based on this syllabus, students are enabled to discuss the role of interpreters as seen by themselves and by professional associations in comparison to professionals in the legal field, and also ethical questions. It entitles them to act professionally and ethically in all these contexts.

Abstract In November 2018, the University of Arizona’s School of Government and Public Policy hosted an international workshop on the role of organization theory in public management. The intention was to renew interest in organization theory in public management research. Scholars such as Herbert Simon, Herbert Kaufman, and Richard Selznick made seminal contributions to organization theory through the study of public organizations from the 1940s through the 1960s. In our estimation, organization theory is underrepresented in public administration scholarship for the last several decades. There are natural reasons for this trend, including the discipline’s turn towards organizational behavior and the ascendancy of techniques that advance the study of large datasets and those that allow for experimental control. The recent emergence of “behavioral public administration” is a prominent example of this evolution. This symposium is an attempt to make a place at the table of public management for organization theory. The articles in this symposium contain articles from scholars who operate in the tradition of classic organization theory in new and innovative ways to lend intellectual purchase to studies of public organizations and public organizational networks.

Competency-based learning allows students to acquire knowledge, learn procedures and develop attitudes necessary for their employability. The aim of this article is to reflect on the current role of the University and its relations with its environment (government, business and society) and present an action plan to promote the employability of university students as an essential instrument of university policy. A qualitative methodology is used to explore, investigate and analyze the structure of the university and obtain information about the perception of the heads of the different units of government in terms of employability. Based on the information collected, the employability plan is drawn up, grouped into four programs that involve teaching, research, management and public administration, with their respective instruments of action; these programs must be managed by the different actors and their respective areas of government.

The article addresses the role of legal theory in legal education. Today, a multitude of perspectives is present within legal theory and, as a subject, it is not as distinct as it is sometimes claimed to be. It is evident when considering syllabuses in the Nordic countries that nearly all LLM programmes have ambitions to teach legal theory as embracing a multitude of theoretical and methodological perspectives. This multitude of perspectives promises adaptable content for the subject of legal theory in various legal contexts, and could facilitate a reflection on how knowledge is acquired and why. The challenge addressed in the article is the presence of explicit or implicit ideas from the subject of legal theory as comprising a coherent “legal method” and a specific list of accepted theories. The persistence of such ideas is scrutinised in this article with help of the concepts of “professional knowledge” and “scholarly knowledge”. In order to navigate the complex field of legal theories, students need meta-reflective skills, which means the ability to reflect upon the underlying complexity and multitude of the subject. This is shown by a case study from the Department of Law at the University of Gothenburg, together with examples from curricula and textbooks from legal theory courses across the Nordic countries.

The COVID-19 pandemic has put pressure on essential public services. While much of the economy has been shut down, essential public services have continued. Using professional experience, publicly available information, and interviews with two municipal utility managers, we evaluate the challenges presented to municipal utility services by the COVID-19 pandemic and explore some of the responses by utilities to the pandemic. Specifically, we focus on the strategies utilities have used to keep employees safe from the virus and plans for workforce shortages. One important strategy we identify is reliance on mutual aid agreements, where utilities agree to send staff and equipment to other utilities in times of crisis. We also explore the role of a municipal utility association in coordinating response. The case of utility response to COVID-19 carries important potential implications for both public administration practice and research.

Leadership is a mutual relationship between people, not imposed on one person to another person. Leadership is when people believe that a leader is capable of meeting their needs. The American School of Leadership at the University of Columbia surveyed 1500 people from different sectors found in leading positions in their own firms. Answers from 20 countries have been received, including America, Japan, European countries, Latin America, etc. Answers were given to what are the most important features It is important that people who in the near future can be entrusted with the role of the leader in any enterprise or system. Do these people have the people who decide on the fate of these leading companies?To be truly effective, leaders of large bureaucracies (large in number) should bring time to many activities within an agency. For many scholars, the key to leadership lies in the features or features that lead to this task, while other scholars describe what features feature theory has. According to them is the belief or the assumption that leadership is based on unique characteristics, qualities or characteristics that have the leaders and that enable them to assume responsibilities. Trust in the theory of features assumes that there is the quality of "born leadership", an assumption that led to the emergence of research on leadership skills and something else of a tradition within the public administration. The authors of this theory try to differentiate and describe the essential features and characteristics of all good leaders.For some time and mostly before the Second World War, public administration scholars interested in leadership aspects of those who handle large bureaucracies assumed that leaders had the gift or the attribute that separated them from the others who followed them. They believed leaders were born like that. Leaders had charisma, and their leadership was based more on their personality than on formal leadership positions or on any rational or legal authority.Any agreement which features were exactly essential to a good leadership did not exist. All of these features are useful to a leader, but no set of features could be demonstrated theoretically as essential. Since the 1960s, the importance of features has been increasingly seen as obsolete. Other factors have been seen to be at least as important or even more important than any other personal qualities of the leader. Some of the qualities suggested above as essential can be seen as counterproductive in some contexts.

The contemporary public administration faces new requirements caused by increasing role of the digital age. Future public administration practitioners need more advanced teaching tools as well as to improve the quality of teaching and learning methods figuring out predictable or unpredictable challenges. Social media have become commonplace and operate on a free service model; thus, it can be used in education to improve the interactivity of students and instructors such as online collaborative work, peer-to-peer instruction, and supporting participation. But it is commercially driven, and education isn't the main target. Thus, there are some serious issues of data privacy, confidence, and security. The instructors' attitudes are also important for using social media. Some instructors claim that social media improves student communication and motivation, whereas others claim that they may cause for the distraction from serious learning endeavors. This study aims to evaluate the academicians' attitude about social media using in public administration education at the university level in Turkey.
