You should especially become familiar with the Office of Administrative Hearings rules. You should have received a copy with your brochure when you received your Notice of Hearing. If you have not previously appeared before the Office of Administrative Hearings, you should take the time to observe a hearing prior to your hearing. Ideally you should view a hearing before your assigned Administrative Law Judge. A visit to the Office of Administrative Hearings website provides valuable information.
Forms are available for downloading.
You can also learn about your assigned Administrative Law Judge by reading his or her biography. If you do not have internet access, the Phoenix office has a kiosk located outside the reception area from which you can access the website. The Administrative Law Judge cannot have ex parte communications with any of the parties. Avoid the potential appearance of impropriety by not talking to the Administrative Law Judge either before or after the hearing unless both parties are present. Make sure that you have sufficient copies of your exhibits for the Administrative Law Judge and the other party.
