A Full and Fair Capacity

Federal Courts Managing State Programs

Charles R. Wise

Robert K. Christensen

Indiana University

Federal courts play a significant role in the management and execution of public programs. Judicial intervention is evident in examples ranging from prisons to mental hospitals to schools. To clarify the appropriateness of federal judicial intervention, the authors construct a so-called full and fair judicial and administrative capacity standard. Where state judicial and administrative capacities are evident, federal courts do well to refrain from exercising jurisdiction. The analysis of the authors also reflects consideration of the capacity of the federal judiciary to manage a state administrative scheme.

Key Words: courts • judicial capacity • management • administrative capacity • abstention
