Administrative Law Examiner 16

This position functions as an administrative law examiner with responsibility for presiding over complex and non-complex administrative hearings relating to the regulatory authority, rules, and procedures of the assigned department or agency. Rendered decisions are based on findings of fact and/or legal interpretations and conclusions. This position is responsible for assignments with significantly greater complexity than those assigned at the experienced level. Extensive independent judgment is used to make decisions in carrying out assignments that have substantial impact on services or programs. Serve as a senior level adjudicator with jurisdiction over assigned caseload of cases handled by the General Adjudication section within the Michigan Office of Administrative Hearings and Rules (MOAHR). These cases may require coordination with other state and federal agencies and may involve local units of government. Cases could involve multiple hearing days with multiple items in contention and will have significant financial impacts. Given the nature of the disputes involved, cases could result in media or legislative interest.
