Administrative Law Judges (ALJs)

Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) are impartial officials who preside over disputes involving government agencies. They conduct hearings to resolve cases related to regulations, benefits, and compliance, often in areas like Social Security or environmental law. ALJs gather evidence, listen to testimonies, and issue decisions that can affect individuals, businesses, or organizations. Their rulings can often be appealed in higher courts, but they play a crucial role in ensuring fair processes and upholding the law within regulatory frameworks. Essentially, ALJs ensure that government actions are just and in line with established laws and procedures.
