How do Administrative Court cases get appealed?
An administrative court case arrives before an appellate court by first exhausting all administrative procedures. Then, the case may be challenged in an Article III trial court. This serves as an appeal of the administrative court’s decision
What is an Appeal from an Administrative Court?
In general, parties appearing before federal administrative courts have direct rights of appeal to Article III Courts (District or Circuit Courts).
The ability to appeal, however, is not generally immediate.
A party wishing to appeal an administrative court decision must first appeal to the agency administrator or to an internal administrative board within the agency.
Once this is complete, if this does not remedy the issue, the parties may appeal to the Federal District Court.
The District Court will act as an appellate court for the matter in question.
In certain cases, the parties may appeal directly to the Circuit Court and skip review by the District Court.
The important thing to remember is that parties appearing before Article I courts must still have the ability to appeal the court’s decision to an Article III court.
Otherwise, cutting off access to an Article III court may be unconstitutional as a violation of due process rights.
