This program recording addresses the administrative hearing process before New York State agencies, with an emphasis on the hearings before five specific agencies. After an overview of administrative hearings under the State Administrative Procedure Act, the program focuses on the high-profile proceedings before the Departments of Health and Environmental Conservation and the high-volume proceedings before the Department of Motor Vehicles, the Division of Tax Appeals and the Workers’ Compensation Board. The faculty members, the judges who conduct the hearings and the staff involved in the administrative adjudication process, concentrate on those aspects of the administrative proceedings which are unique to each agency, and provide insights which a practitioner would be unable to find elsewhere.
