How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that failure to appeal draft classification did not foreclose challenging the validity of the classification in a criminal proceeding
• observing that one purpose of exhaustion doctrine is to allow administrative agencies to carry out their responsibilities and “to discover and correct [their] own errors.”
• noting that postponing judicial review of agency action until exhaustion of administrative review is “an expression of executive and administrative autonomy”
• noting that judicial review may be hindered by the inability of the agency to make a factual record
• noting that the exhaustion requirement permits top managers to correct the mistakes made at lower levels
• suggesting that, in the context of a subsequent criminal prosecution, the termination of the administrative process is a factor to be considered in deciding whether to require exhaustion
