The role of administrative law judges (ALJs) in financial regulation cases is currently under scrutiny by the United States Supreme Court. ALJs are independent adjudicators who are tasked with conducting hearings and making decisions in administrative proceedings, ensuring fair and impartial treatment for those involved. However, there has been growing concern about the practice of some agencies forcing parties targeted for enforcement actions into in-house courts presided over by ALJs. This process raises concerns about the separation of powers, as it allows agencies to act as both judge and jury, potentially undermining the checks and balances that underpin the American legal system. Additionally, the use of ALJs raises due process concerns, as it denies parties the opportunity to have their cases heard in a traditional court setting, where they would have access to a jury and the full protections of due process. The Supreme Court will have to decide whether this practice violates the Constitution.
