Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) are federal agency employees, appointed under provision of the Administrative Procedure Act, who preside over formal APA hearings. ALJs, who are all attorneys, make initial decisions subject to appeal to agency head or the agency head’s designee. ALJs only preside over formal APA cases, unlike other administrative judges or adjudicators.
