Ethics of Adjudicative Panels

Faculty

Using fact scenarios, topics covered include:

• Is there an optimal structure for Administrative Adjudication?
  • does law trump subject-expertise, or is the opposite true?
  • is it better to be practical, or to adhere to the letter of the law?
  • what are the potential impacts on ethics, on expertise and training?
  • should ‘expedition’ dictate the composition of adjudicative panels?
• Ethical and cultural challenges for full-time vs. part-time adjudicators
  • what role does training play? technology?
  • how to instill a common set of values within the tribunal
• Advantages and disadvantages to clustering – is expertise diluted? or, is there clearer perspective?
• Preventing any apprehension of bias
• Dissenting opinions – how do you handle these?
• Ethics of “hot tubbing” – what happens to the “battle of the experts”?
