You may be able to eventually cop a transfer to a more desirable location but it isn't a given, and it could take years, To get your foot in the door on the front end, ALJ candidates usually have to say they will go anywhere for their first assignment. And, as noted SSA is the agency that employs the vast majority of ALJs. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2856573&forum_id=2#27701393) |

Date: April 16th, 2015 2:34 PM Author: Contagious Boltzmann They are pretty unfireable as far as federal employees go. The employing agency essentially has to file and win an MSPB lawsuit to remove them. You can probably count on one hand th number of ALJs in the past 30 years who have been successfully removed. They also don't really have "supervisors" in the traditional sense and kind of just run their own shit. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2856573&forum_id=2#27702601) |

this was meant as a reply to the guy who said BK judges were only AI judges worth being.
federal claims also seems pretty OK |

Date: April 18th, 2015 12:04 PM Author: salmon twisted stage yeah, but the district court judges go out of their way to give the magistrate dudes respect and be deferential to them
magistrate in some shit district could suck. but in a lot of prestigious districts with a bunch of biglaw cases it seems like magistrates are often referred cases to handle everything up to, and often including, case-dispositive motions. and usually its extremely hard to get a district court judge to overturn what his magistrate bro did on the motion to dismiss / discovery motion / etc. |

Date: April 16th, 2015 2:19 PM Author: Crusty glittery hall kitty NLRB judges all start out as SSA judges for a few years (probably the same in all federal agencies).
NLRB judges do a pretty fair amount of work in middle America, but you aren't limited to where you live. There is a lot of travel. There are 3 ALJ offices - DC, SF, and I think Chicago. You are "assigned" to one of those offices, but you preside over cases all over your region. |
