: Within the Scope20 Large: OAH Dockets its 20,000th Case for a Hearing
By Eric L. Lipman
Raymond R. Krause, Chief Administrative Law Judge of the Minnesota Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) announced this afternoon that the Office had docketed its 20,000th request for a hearing in its 33-year history as an administrative tribunal.OAH currently conducts administrative hearings and rulemaking oversight proceedings for over 80 state agencies and presides over hearings for large number of political subdivisions. For most of its 33-year history, the Administrative Law Division of OAH has docketed, on average, 50 requests for hearing services each month.
As the Chief Judge noted in his remarks on the event, perhaps it is a sign of both the general distress in the financial markets, and OAH?s role in addressing disputes on contemporary issues, that the 20,000th case involves an effort to impose professional discipline upon a licensed mortgage originator. In this case, the Minnesota Department of Commerce seeks to sanction a licensed mortgage originator whom the Department claims engaged in a scheme to defraud real estate investors.
Remarked Chief Judge Krause: ?This 20,000th request for hearing services makes clear how important our work to the state has been and continues to be. It is another important milestone in our agency?s history.?
