Accepted Answer

Prohibiting judicial review cannot violate constitutional rights, as they are the supreme law of the land and must be upheld. Choices A and B are not relevant to the question of judicial review. Choice D may be important, but it is not the most important consideration when determining the permissibility of limiting judicial review.

Challenged as a violation of the Endangered Species Act,because the Nile crocodile in Egypt could be harmed,the Supreme Court held:

Accepted Answer

The Supreme Court held that the plaintiffs had no standing to bring the case because they could not demonstrate an injury in fact. Simply being concerned about the well-being of the Nile crocodile in Egypt was not enough to establish standing under the Endangered Species Act.

Question 3

Question 5

The procedural requirement of _______________ requires that there can be no judicial review until the agency's decision is final so that the court will have the final issues in the case before it and not hypothetical questions or unresolved disputes.

Accepted Answer

The procedural requirement described in the question is that of ripeness. Ripeness requires that legal disputes be resolved with a final decision by the agency involved, so that courts are not asked to rule on hypothetical or incomplete issues. This ensures that courts only weigh in on concrete legal problems, rather than speculating on what might happen in the future.

Question 6

A person who wishes to bring a complaint against another person or business for violation of a statute administered by a federal agency must first:

Accepted Answer

A person must first exhaust all administrative channels before bringing suit against another person or business for violation of a statute administered by a federal agency. This means that the person must follow the complaint process and procedures established by the federal agency before filing a lawsuit.

Question 8

The ______________ prevents unnecessary lawsuits by giving the agency the full chance to get the decision right.

Accepted Answer

The correct term for the principle that prevents unnecessary lawsuits by giving the agency the full chance to get the decision right is not listed among the options provided. The closest concept to this description is the "exhaustion of administrative remedies," which requires all potential administrative avenues of relief to be pursued before a court will consider the matter. None of the options accurately describe this principle.

Question 9

In a case involving judicial review of an administrative agency's decision,the court's _____________ determines how far it can go in examining the action.

Accepted Answer

The "scope of review" refers to the extent to which a court can review an administrative agency's decision. This includes determining the relevant legal standards and factual findings, as well as evaluating the decision-making process of the agency. Therefore, option B is the best choice. Options A, C, D, and E are all related concepts but do not accurately describe the specific issue at hand.

Question 10

In Summers v.Earth Island Institute,where the decision of the Forest Service to sell burned timber on 238 acres without preparing an environmental impact statement or formal notice of the sale was challenged as a violation of the Forest Service Decisionmaking and Appeals Reform Act,the Supreme Court held that since the:

Accepted Answer

The Supreme Court held that the plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the Forest Service's actions because they could not demonstrate a concrete injury that would be directly addressed by winning the lawsuit. The options provided misrepresent the Court's reasoning regarding judicial review and standing.

Question 17

When Congress grants courts the ability to review administrative actions,it may:

Accepted Answer

Congress has the authority to specify that certain administrative actions are not subject to judicial review, effectively limiting the courts' ability to examine these actions. This is a mechanism used to ensure that certain executive decisions, especially those involving national security or other sensitive areas, can be made without the risk of being overturned or delayed by the judiciary.

Question 18

If a federal agency issues a new regulation,it may:

Accepted Answer

Parties who claim the regulation caused them legally recognized harm can challenge the regulation in court. This is known as standing and is required for a court to hear a case. Individuals or corporations who are not directly affected by the regulation may not have standing to challenge it. Constitutional issues may also be raised in a challenge, but they are not the only basis for a legal challenge. There is no federal Congressional order that can completely preclude all legal challenges.
