You may appeal a decision of a state agency by filing a complaint for judicial review, but only after first exhausting the review process offered within the agency itself.

Many, but not all, complaints for judicial review are heard in the Superior Court. This information outlines appeals in Superior Court. To be sure, check with the agency involved to learn whether this or a different procedure is the one to follow.
