FALJC Invites you to Join us At our Annual Conference!

[FALJC]

The Federal Administrative Law Judges Conference (FALJC) cordially invites applicants for the ALJ examination to join us at our annual conference to be held September 8-11, 2013, in Orlando, Florida.

Some of you may already be familiar with FALJC. FALJC is a professional association of federal ALJs with members encompassing every federal agency that employs ALJs. We were founded in 1947, shortly after passage of the Administrative Procedure Act, making us the oldest ALJ organization in the country. Each year we hold an educational conference in a selected location. This year's conference will be held in Orlando. For the first time, we are inviting candidates for the ALJ position to join us in Florida for our 50th Annual Conference. The registration fee for non-members is $350, which includes two full days of CLE, a welcoming reception and dinner, and breakfast both days. This year we will be discussing the ALJ Selection process on one of our panels and we foresee a lively discussion.

For those of you interested in becoming ALJs, this is an excellent opportunity to learn more about FALJC, to hear about what ALJs do in a myriad of federal agencies, and to meet ALJs from all over the country in a friendly and relaxed setting. Space is limited so we do ask that you respond to us no later than June 30, 2013. For more information about the conference, including the program schedule and hotel information, visit our website at www.faljc.org or email FALJC at [e-mail]. You can also post any questions here and we will try to respond in a timely manner.

We look forward to seeing you in Orlando this September, and the members of FALJC wish you all good luck with the ALJ exam!

Looks like an interesting program. I am thinking of attending just for the CLE since sequestration cancelled all of our travel opportunites where we usually get cle credits.

I wonder if, in the unfortunate event we receive a NOR indicating we were not selected for the next round, would we be able to get a refund for the conference?

I would go regardless. Even if we do not make it this round you get additional insight that will help you the next time around should you get an NOR this time around. I want to know as much as possible about what I am getting into should I hit this powerball.

We have had a great response so far, so thank you to all who have expressed an interest. I neglected to include the online registration link. Please visit www.faljc.org/seminars/faljc-50th-annual-seminar/ or simply go to the Seminar page on the FALJC website www.faljc.org and you can register and pay online.

There was a question regarding refunds. You can cancel your hotel reservation without penalty up to three days before the conference. Your registration fee is fully refundable up to September 1, 2013. If you have an emergency after that date, we try to accommodate that with a refund.

If you have already made your hotel reservations, but did not fill out the online form, please go the FALJC website and complete your online registration as soon as possible. We look forward to meeting you in Orlando in September and we hope more of you decide to take advantage of this unique opportunity.
