Alj Central Panels: How Is It Going Out There?, W. Michael Gillette
Alj Central Panels: How Is It Going Out There?, W. Michael Gillette
Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary
For over 40 years, administrative law mavens have touted the desirability of “central panels,” i.e., panels of administrative law judges who, instead of being attached to a single administrative agency, are assigned to a “central,” “independent” panel that supplies administrative law judges to conduct contested case hearings for a variety of agencies. More than half the states have listened to the siren call and have created such panels — the earliest (California’s) as far back as 1946. As one who at first opposed, but later supported the creation of such a panel in his home state, Oregon, the author now …

Report To The California Public Utilities Commission Regarding Ex Parte Communications And Related Practices, Michael J. Strumwasser, Beverly Grossman Palmer, Dale K. Larson
Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary
Part I contains the analysis of existing law. We review the statutes and regulations governing ex parte communications before the CPUC, examine corresponding laws of other jurisdictions, and compare the CPUC statutes and regulations with those of the other jurisdictions. In Part II we examine actual ex parte practices before the CPUC. Based on data obtained from notices filed on the Commission’s website by parties to rate-setting cases, we provide a quantitative characterization of the extent and nature of noticed ex parte communications over the past roughly 22 years. We then place ex parte communications within the context of the …

De-Scribing Administrative Law Case Data: From Sparklines To Dashboards To Analytics, Steven Placek
De-Scribing Administrative Law Case Data: From Sparklines To Dashboards To Analytics, Steven Placek
Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary
In this article, I present some examples of opportunities for agencies to depart from the inscribed method. These examples of display “de-scribe” administrative law data, making the data more visually active, multi-variate—with additional context and greater density. In Part II of this article, I review examples of the current state of data display for administrative law agencies and show how the inscribed method limits complex displays of data. In Part III, I introduce the concept of the sparkline, which is the fundamental unit of visual data display in the big data era that appears in organizational dashboards and analytics deployments. …

To Waive Or Not To Waive? Filing Deadlines And Hearing Requests In Administrative Adjudications, Alice Booher Johnson
Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary
In Part II of this Article, I provide an overview of subject matter jurisdiction in relation to filing timeframes. I review the distinction between original and appellate jurisdiction using Maryland case law and a sample survey of other state case law to provide background to the question of filing deadlines and hearing requests in administrative adjudications. In Part III of this Article, I elaborate upon Supreme Court precedent on administrative filing deadlines. In Part IV of this Article, I analyze the nature of filing deadlines for hearing requests before various state agencies, with an emphasis on Maryland’s scheme. The case …
Adjudicasaurus Rex, Jeffrey S. Wolfe
Adjudicasaurus Rex, Jeffrey S. Wolfe
Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary
This article proposes a simple theme. While many issues plague the Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income programs, only reform of the hearings and appeals process can solve the decades-long (and growing) hearings backlog. Only then, can the remaining questions regarding the solvency of the DI trust fund be meaningfully addressed. As it now stands, the ongoing backlog of pending hearings and appeals feeds the twin plagues of rising costs and increasing delay. These are the very issues that drove the federal courts in the passage of the Civil Justice Reform Act of 1990 (CJRA). This article provides …

Ethical Choices: Contested Case Procedures And Judicial Review Applicable To Politicians Versus Other Regulated Actors, Amy Bresnen
Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judiciary
The general purpose of this paper is to provide law students and young lawyers with an overview for accessing, in the context of Texas agencies, these legislatively-delegated adjudicative, or quasijudicial, powers and explain how agency contested case decisions are reviewed by the courts. This is important for lawyers to understand in representing a client, be it an individual or entity, whose interests are affected by administrative proceedings within regulatory agencies. To accomplish this goal, the paper discusses the two most common methods of judicial review and contrasts the standard proceedings for contested cases at the State Office of Administrative Hearings …
