What is a potential effect of a court exercising powers administratively?

It can reduce costs by not requiring attendance It automatically ends the case It changes the governing law It requires a full jury

Correct Answer:

It can reduce costs by not requiring attendance

Explanation:

Courts exercising powers administratively means they can handle routine aspects of a case without a formal hearing, making decisions based on papers or short directions rather than full court appearances. This streamlines proceedings and saves time and money, since parties and costs associated with attendance can be avoided. The effect described is specifically about reducing costs by not requiring attendance, which is a natural outcome of using administrative powers for case management and non-appearance decisions. These powers don’t automatically end the case, don’t change the governing law, and don’t mandate a full jury.
