Administrative Law

This Article surveys cases from the Georgia Supreme Court and the Georgia Court of Appeals from June 1, 2014 through May 31, 2015 in which principles of administrative law were a central focus of the case. The Article begins with a discussion of cases on exhaustion of administrative remedies, followed by a series of cases discussing standard of review for an agency decision, a review of sovereign immunity cases, and a brief review of enactments from the 2015 regular session of the Georgia General Assembly. This Article is dedicated to the illustrious Martin M. Wilson, who authored this Article for countless years and served as an invaluable mentor to each of us as we were shepherded on board. In light of his recent retirement, Marty will now likely be found reading this article with his toes in the sand.
