Abstract:
In “The Future of Judicial Review Under the Administrative Procedure and Texas Register Act”, Janine Oldemeyer Hill describes the types of judicial review of agency action available: true trial de novo, review of agency record with substantial evidence test, and trial de novo with substantial evidence test. She then explores the manner in which a court determines the types of review appropriate in a particular case. Hill uses a Texas Supreme Court case construing the judicial review provisions of the Administrative Procedure and Texas Register Act to illustrate the trend toward greater judicial deference to agency decisions. Hill concludes by proposing ways in which a judicial posture less deferential to agency decisions could be implemented without overburdening the courts.
