What is an administrative judge?
An administrative judge (AJ) is an EEOC employee who independently decides discrimination complaints of federal employees. All EEOC AJs are highly skilled and knowledgeable attorneys, with respect to the federal sector hearing process and the relevant law. When the EEOC office responsible for your geographic area receives your request for a hearing, an AJ will be assigned to oversee all aspects of your case. The AJ will issue a variety of orders designed to ensure fair and expeditious processing of your case, will analyze the applicable law and the evidence and issue a decision.
