Understanding Judicial Review Of Federal Agency Action: Kafkaesque And Langdellian, Gary C. Leedes
Understanding Judicial Review Of Federal Agency Action: Kafkaesque And Langdellian, Gary C. Leedes
University of Richmond Law Review
This article identifies the key factors that are taken into consideration by federal judges empowered to apply and give doctrinal content to the rules governing judicial review. The original inspiration was more modest. The article, as conceived, was to be simply an attempt to clarify the concept of reviewability. After some thinking about the topic, the close relationship between the concept of reviewability and other concepts of judicial review became clearer to me, and I decided that a useful antidote to the customary analysis, which emphasizes distinctions among these various concepts, is to emphasize their similarities.
Mr. Justice Powell's Standing, Gary C. Leedes
Mr. Justice Powell's Standing, Gary C. Leedes
University of Richmond Law Review
Some may lament the results of Mr. Justice Powell's attempts to clarify the law of standing. Indeed, public interest lawyers who advocate granting standing on a surrogate basis to individuals who are members of a large unorganized class of diffuse interests have cause to complain about a return to a more orthodox conception of standing. However, Mr. Justice Powell has a different outlook, viz., in a democratic society, a federal court is not necessarily an appropriate or the most effective institution to redress the grievances of people upset by alleged lawless government action.
