The Application

History

The ABA challenged the DOJ's termination decision, contending the agency lacked statutory authority or failed to follow required notice-and-comment procedures. The court examined the relevant statutes governing the Commission's establishment and the DOJ's authority to terminate federally-funded programs.

The Conclusion

The court rendered judgment on the administrative law claims, determining the scope of the DOJ's authority to terminate the Commission and whether applicable procedural requirements were satisfied.
