Description

This full-day CLE program concerns the administrative hearing process before New York State agencies, with an emphasis on the hearings before five specific agencies. The program will commence with a general introduction about administrative hearings under the State Administrative Procedure Act and will then focus on the proceedings before the New York State Tax Appeals Tribunal, the New York State Public Service Commission, and the Departments of: Motor Vehicles, Environmental Conservation, Health, and the State Board for Professional Medical Conduct. The Administrative Law Judges who conduct the hearings, or agency staff involved in the administrative adjudication process, will present the program. These presenters will be able to focus on those aspects of the administrative proceedings which are unique to each agency and will provide insights which a practitioner would be unable to find elsewhere.
