2008 Snapshot: Charts Depict the Work of OAH's Administrative Law Division

By Eric L. Lipman

Circulating at the State Capitol these days are two charts which may be of interest to readers of Within the Scope.

The first chart documents the nature and number of complaints of unfair campaign practices that were resolved by the Office of Administrative Hearings' Adminstrative Law Division in calendar year 2008. Among other items, this chart details a steady drop-off in the total number complaint filings, as OAH continues to develop a detailed body of decisional law in this area and to resolve most other disputes well in advance of Election Day.

The second chart details the nature, number and outcome of state rulemaking matters presented to the OAH during Fiscal Year 2008. This chart details both the wide variety of rulemaking approaches used by state agencies and the important role that OAH continues to play in the review of new state regulations.

For readers who have access to Microsoft Power Point, both sets of statistics appear on a single presentation slide that is accessible here.
