Crowell v. Benson

Case Date: 05/19/2024

Crowell v. Benson, 285 U.S. 22 (1932) is the first United States Supreme Court decision that approved the adjudication of private rights by an administrative agency, not an Article III court. The Court held that the United States Employees' Compensation Commission satisfied Fifth Amendment Due Process and the requirements of Article III with its court-like procedures and because it invests the final power of decision in Article III courts.
