Recusal Rules for Administrative Adjudicators

Recommendation 2018-4 – Recusal Rules for Administrative Adjudicators urges agencies to issue procedural rules governing the recusal of adjudicators to ensure both impartiality and the appearance of impartiality in agency adjudications. It encourages agencies to adopt procedures by which parties can seek recusal of adjudicators assigned to their cases and to provide written explanations for recusal decisions.
