The ability to petition the courts for judicial relief is, of course, one of the fundamental safeguards against over-reaching by either the executive or legislative branches. In New Jersey, the constitution provides that there is a right for judicial review of administrative agency actions in the same manner as there is a right for judicial review following decisions from either the Law Division or the Chancery Division. In all cases, such review occurs in the Appellate Division.
It is a small wonder that administrative agency decisions are reviewed by the Appellate Division in much the same manner as final judicial decisions from either the Law Division or the Chancery Division. Since our constitution was amended several decades ago, our administrative agencies have become increasingly powerful. Indeed, a review of copies of the New Jersey Register from decades ago compared with now indicates just how much more rule making now occurs. All of that rule making results in, or corresponds with, greater power of these agencies.
