Office of Administrative Law Judges

Mission

The mission of the Office of Administrative Law Judges is to provide due process through timely and fair dispositions of all matters brought before us. We are dedicated to achieving this goal, whether presiding over on-the-record hearings, motion practice, or participating as settlement judges. The judges are appointed pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act (5 USC 551), and are, therefore, independent of agency influence in their proceedings and decisions.
