When it comes to our courts, there are many rules and regulations that Supreme Court justices must abide by. There are many restrictions placed on them and their ability to legally hear a case. Judges are constrained by the types of cases before them, as well as jurisdiction, legitimacy and capacity, judicial role, and access to review. In the context of access to review there are many interesting caveats to the law which need to be considered with a critical eye and with the understanding that not all cases may be heard by the Supreme Court. Access to review affects several rules within the court; three of which will be discussed here: maturity, legitimation, and justifiability. Maturity is the idea that a case is ready to be heard before the Supreme Court only when all other agencies involved have exhausted their efforts to resolve the dispute. The purpose of the maturity or the doctrine introduced by the maturity 'Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies' is to prevent the premature involvement of courts in cases which have yet to reach a final decision by other remedies and through other administrative bodies. In addition to these maturity restrictions, the doctrine also requires that cases must face an immediate and near-final promise of adverse government action before a case can be heard before the Supreme Court. The “Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies” doctrine was adapted to give administrative oversight agencies the authority to handle complaints within their jurisdiction as granted to them by Congress. “Requiring exhaustion helps agencies avoid the cost of making decisions without all stakeholders present; increases the accuracy, consistency and public acceptability of administrative decisions; retains judicial resolution......middle of paper......first half. Our justice system is terribly overloaded and we must maintain a sense of law and order if we are to continue working for the most deserving litigants.
