Compare the adjudication process in an administrative hearing to the judicial process. What takes place at an administrative hearing in contrast to what takes place at a trial in court?
An agency may use informal or formal methods to resolve a dispute. When informal methods to resolve an administrative matter fail, then the agency must follow some sort of formal adjudicatory process. However, the procedures in these agency hearings vary from agency to agency. The APA does establish some mandatory standards. An agency must give notice of a hearing.The hearing is presided over by an administrative law judge and is prosecuted by the agency. Juries are never used in administrative hearings; either a judge or a jury can decide a case in the judicial system. In both agency and court hearings, either party may introduce both oral and documentary evidence. The rules of evidence apply in a court hearing; evidentiary rules in administrative proceedings are usually more relaxed, because there is no need to protect a jury from unreliable evidence. The appeal from an agency hearing is to the governing body of the agency. An appeal from a federal district court goes to the Court of Appeals.
