I'm a lawyer and did admin law for 30 years. It's a fast, sort of down and dirty way to move cases through the system. I was the one who reviewed the decision of the ALJ to decide if it was right (or overturn it) and then defend the decision at the Court of Appeals.

You'd be surprised how many of us left leaners are in the system. I figured it was my job to tell the agency to turn left every time there was an option.
