Abstract
Today, the topic may be voter photo identification cards. Tomorrow, teacher discipline may be on the agenda. With administrative law, many of the front-burner issues that appear in the news are decided according to administrative procedures, and those cases generally are well ahead of litigation entering the court system. This Article surveys cases from the Georgia Supreme Court and the Georgia Court of Appeals from June 1, 2007 through May 31, 2008. There has been a deliberate attempt to omit cases that would likely be included in other traditional topics for articles in this volume. While there may be cases in this Article that appear in others, the reader will find that the analysis contained in this Article is generally confined to the administrative law aspects of the subject matter.
This Article begins with cases illustrating standing issues and moves to the defenses and immunities asserted by agencies in various cases. The standards of review used in determining agency actions follow, and then come cases on the choice of a direct or discretionary appeal. At the end, developments from the 2008 regular session of the Georgia General Assembly regarding state agencies are reviewed.
