The Association of Administrative Law Judges is a non-profit association that represents and engages in the ongoing professional development of its member judges. Most members of the association are administrative law judges employed by or retired from the Social Security Administration where they adjudicate disputes arising under the Social Security Act. Each year, the Association organizes and hosts an educational conference designed to address specific issues relevant to the adjudication of our caseload.
