An administrative law judge

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An administrative law judge can gather evidence and take testimony, making them responsible for conducting hearings and making rulings based on the evidence presented. They are also authorized to issue decisions, which are binding in most cases, unlike advisory opinions. The judge works within a specific agency and seeks to balance the interests of the agency with those of the individual citizens affected by agency decisions. They do not run trials as the decision is made solely by the administrative law judge without a jury.
