To which court can a license aggrieved by a final order of the department appealing a suspension or revocation be submitted?

When a licensee wishes to appeal a final order from the department regarding a suspension or revocation of their license, the appropriate venue for such an appeal is the Circuit Court. This court generally has jurisdiction over appeals concerning administrative agency decisions, allowing for a comprehensive review of the case and ensuring that any actions taken by the department align with the law.

Circuit Court serves as a trial court with broader jurisdiction and is often the next step for individuals seeking to contest decisions made by governmental bodies. This is particularly relevant in the context of licensing issues, where an aggrieved party needs to seek redress through the proper legal channels to challenge the administrative actions that have impacted their professional status and opportunities.

The other suggested courts, such as Family Court, deal with matters concerning family law and cannot be utilized for this type of professional licensing issue. Similarly, while the District Court handles a variety of civil matters, it is not the designated court for appeals of administrative decisions such as these. The Supreme Court, the highest court in the state, typically reviews cases that have already been decided in lower courts and is not the first venue for such appeals. Thus, Circuit Court stands out as the correct choice for addressing appeals regarding license suspensions or revocations.
