Judicial review of agency action that is, for example, arbitrary and capricious, an abuse of discretion, contrary to law or unsupported by substantial evidence is a familiar and critical part of the rule of law. The process for disciplining police officers may have serious flaws, but this isn’t one of them. EUGENE R. FIDELL New Haven The writer teaches at Yale Law School.
