In today's global economy, the practice of customs & international trade law requires a particular knowledge of trade policy & legislation. The only source that addresses the role of the judiciary in this important process, this publication begins with the historical evolution of judicial review in import law. Providing an expertly-written framework for a clear understanding of these issues, this volume provides essential coverage of customs, tariffs, antidumping & countervailing duty laws, embargoes, quantitative restrictions on imports, & adjustments to import competition. The current functioning of the CIT & CAFC are examined in detail, as reflected in the legal doctrines of administrative law involved in the judicial review of government agencies. Topics addressed include: jurisdiction, standing, sovereign immunity, exhaustion of administrative remedies, preclusion of review, & the scope & standard of review in de novo & appellate cases on issues of fact, issues of law, agency discretion, & trade policy. "...a highly readable volume which provides an historical evolution of the judicial review in the customs & international trade areas & reviews when judicial review is available & how the specialized courts approach review of these issues.
