I'm glad to hear that OHA now has the service of another ALJ, although I worry that two judges still may not be enough to handle what is likely to be a massive influx of 8(a) suspension appeals.
Like you, my experience with the OHA judges is that they are fairminded, work hard to be impartial, and focus on the black-and-white letter of the rules whenever those will answer the question.
Great article Sam! I remember those OHA days ....
Good old Arkow!

Thanks, Steve! They are certainly black-and-white. That was frustrating when we would lose cases at SBA. But now I appreciate the predictability!
Always great info, Sam! Thank you for your insights!
Thank you, Shauna!
