Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), the standard of review for mixed questions of law and fact can vary, but the substantial evidence standard specifically applies to review of factual findings, not necessarily to mixed questions of law and fact. Mixed questions are often reviewed under a more deferential standard or de novo for purely legal questions.
