For those who make it pass the first hurdle on the current ALJ examination, it looks like OPM will be scheduling interview panels in March/April 2010 in the Washington, DC, and is expected to take five weeks to complete.

And the WD comes before the interviews, right? Say early Feb to early March? I'm just guessing, but this seems reasonable based on previous timelines. Do you have any knowledge about this, hearings101? Working backwards, it seems that applicants should be hearing whether they made the first hurdle in the not-too-distant future. Good luck to everybody. |

The ABA Admin and Regulatory Law Section just sent out this email (emphasis added).
- - - - - - - - - -
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is currently in the process of evaluating applications for the position of Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) per its Announcement 2009ALJ-134575 (issued on November 9, 2009). One part of that evaluation process is a structured interview which ideally involves an experienced member of the private bar on each interview panel. As in the past, OPM has requested the assistance of the ABA Section on Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice, through its Ad Hoc Committee on Review of Recruitment of ALJ’s by OPM, to identify private attorneys who are willing to participate in those interviews.
All interviews will be held in Washington, D.C., and are expected to occur in March-April 2010 (over approximately a 5-week period). OPM will provide training to attorneys participating in the interview process (approximately 4 hours). Attorneys will be asked to participate in as many days of interviews as their time permits. Participating private attorneys will be considered consultants to OPM without compensation (considered special government employees, subject to 18 U.S.C. §§ 202 and 205).
If you are interested in participating in the ALJ interview process, please forward your name, phone number, email and a brief resume (including years of experience, particularly in administrative litigation) to Nancy Skancke, Chair of the Ad Hoc Committee (njskanckeATgkrse-law.com). This information will be forwarded to OPM. OPM will directly contact the attorneys that are selected to assist in the interview process with further information, including the dates of the interviews (so that private attorneys can determine which day(s) they are available to participate). For maximum consideration, please respond by January 8, 2010.
The position of ALJ is important in the Federal administrative process. We hope that you will participate in this way to help ensure that the highest quality persons are selected as ALJs.

Would it be a conflict to volunteer as an evaluator and then also sit through the interview process, with a different panel of course? It would be enlightening.
