The Story Of Vermont Yankee: A Cautionary Tale Of Judicial Review And Nuclear Waste, Gillian E. Metzger

Faculty Scholarship

This Essay explores the puzzle of Vermont Yankee v. NRDC. Vermont Yankee stands as a definitive rejection of judicial efforts to control burgeoning informal rulemaking by adding to the procedural requirements contained in the Administrative Procedure Act. Yet judicial expansion of the APA's procedural requirements has continued apace, and the Court's simultaneous sanction of searching substantive scrutiny sits oddly with its excoriation of the D.C. Circuit for that court's perceived procedural excesses. To understand Vermont Yankee, the Essay puts the decision in its administrative and judicial context, exploring the case law and practical dilemmas facing administrators, advocates, and judges as …

To Defer Or Not To Defer: Judicial Review Of Zoning Board Decisions In New York, Elliot Gardner

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The note examines the judicial review of zoning board decisions in New York, emphasizing the need to balance deference to local boards with ensuring fairness and transparency. It argues that excessive judicial deference can lead to arbitrary and unjust decisions, particularly in distinguishing between variances and special permits. The author advocates for clearer judicial standards, such as a higher scrutiny for special permits, and proposes reforms like specialized courts to enhance consistency and fairness in zoning decisions.

Citizens To Preserve Overton Park V. Volpe, Peter L. Strauss

Faculty Scholarship

This essay is one of a series destined to appear in a Foundation Press book, Administrative Law Stories, now set for publication in the fall of 2005. The decision in Citizens to Preserve Overton Park v. Volpe represents a transition from political to judicial controls over decisions broadly affecting a wide range of community interests. Unmistakable and dramatic as it is, that transition is not universally applauded. But the transition was striking and quick. The late sixties and early seventies saw an explosion of new national legislation on social and environmental issues, that often provided explicitly or implicitly for citizen …
