When State Executive Agencies Take You to Their Own 'Court'

In this discussion, Daniel Dew, the Legal Policy Director at the Pacific Legal Foundation, sheds light on how federal and state agencies possess the power to adjudicate without traditional court oversight. He highlights the challenges individuals face when dragged into these agency-run proceedings, often lacking fair evidence standards. Dew advocates for reform aimed at enhancing the independence of administrative law judges to protect citizens' rights. He also addresses the implications of Indiana's recent reforms and the broader constitutional concerns surrounding the separation of powers.
