Legislative Courts, Administrative Agencies, And The Northern Pipeline Decision, Martin H. Redish Apr 1983

Legislative Courts, Administrative Agencies, And The Northern Pipeline Decision, Martin H. Redish

Duke Law Journal

In Northern Pipeline Construction Co. v. Marathon Pipe Line Co., the Supreme Court held unconstitutional the exercise of the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Courts because their judges lacked article III's protections of salary and tenure. In so holding, the Court significantly altered the criteria for deciding what cases have to be heard by judges with article III protections. In this article, Professor Redish criticizes the criteria adopted by the Justices, and suggests alternative criteria which would better foster the values behind the independence protections of article III. In addition, he examines the implications of the various criteria for the continued …


Regulatory Reform: Assessing The California Plan, Marsha N. Cohen Apr 1983

Regulatory Reform: Assessing The California Plan, Marsha N. Cohen

Duke Law Journal

California enacted an extensive regulatory review plan in 1979 which established the criteria of necessity, authority, clarity, consistency, and reference for all existing and future regulations. It created the office of Administrative Law (OAL) in the executive branch to enforce compliance with the new standards, and adopted procedural modifications to the state's rulemaking scheme. In this article, Professor Cohen analyzes the California plan and its application during the first two years of the OAL's existence. She concludes that the procedural reforms are generally sound, although in some aspects impose excessive controls on agencies. In contrast, she finds troubling the plan's …


Making Agencies Follow Orders: Judicial Review Of Agency Violations Of Executive Order 12,291, Peter Raven-Hansen Apr 1983

Making Agencies Follow Orders: Judicial Review Of Agency Violations Of Executive Order 12,291, Peter Raven-Hansen

Duke Law Journal

When, if at all, should courts make agencies follow the President's "personal" policies declared in non-statutory executive orders? Professor Raven-Hansen here seeks an answer by making the case for general judicial enforceability of Executive Order No. 12,291, which requires regulatory impact analysis of major rules. He concludes that a non-statutory executive order which is not mere housekeeping can bind agencies under the principle that they must follow their own rules, but that the committal of enforcement to executive discretion is often a serious obstacle to judicial enforceability. Whether such discretion bars judicial review altogether or only narrows the scope of …

Review Of “Jurisdictional” Issues Under The Bumpers Amendment, Ronald M. Levin Apr 1983

Review Of “Jurisdictional” Issues Under The Bumpers Amendment, Ronald M. Levin

Duke Law Journal

The proposed Bumpers Amendment to the Administrative Procedure Act would encourage courts to be less deferential than they have previously been toward federal agencies' views on issues of law. With regard to "jurisdictional" questions, the amendment would go further: it would invite courts not only to assert their independence, but also to disfavor agencies' positions. Professor Levin regards this special rule of construction for jurisdictional questions as an attempt to achieve deregulation through judicial review. He criticizes this strategy as poorly conceived and calls attention to several weaknesses in the draftsmanship of the jurisdiction provision.
