Dear Judge:

Our new fiscal year begins on June 1, 2009 - we urge you to renew your FALJC membership for the year ahead. FALJC is dedicated to promoting the interests of the federal administrative judiciary, including fair compensation and judicial independence. The resources for our efforts can only come from you. Please take the time to join or renew your membership now and speak to your colleagues about doing the same. Once you join or renew, make sure you register, if you haven't already, for access to the FALJC website's Members Page and Message Board. All questions regarding FALJC website access, including user ID and passwords, as well as any prblems accessing the website, must be directed to Judge Michael Rosas at rosas730@aol.com or you may call him at (202) 501-8633.  

 

Last year, FALJC held its 45th Annual Seminar at the Atlantic Sands Hotel in Rehobeth Beach, Deleware and and it was a great success.  Nealry 90 Administrative Law Judges and guests from around the country attended this three-day event. This year, we will return to the Dunes Manor Hotel in Ocean City, Maryland for the weekend of September 13-15, 2009, where another great seminar is planned.  We hope to see you there!

 

FALJC has been in the forefront on core issues of importance to the administrative law judiciary, which this past year focused on maintaining the integrity of the ALJ selection process and preserving judicial independence. Many other issues require attention as well, such as pay compression, ALJ qualifications and the need for an independent ALJ administrative agency. There are multiple challenges on these fronts and we all want to see positive results.  

 

So, please do three things now:

 

v     Renew your membership in FALJC for 2009-20010 by filling out and returning the membership application and sending in a check for your dues.

 

v     Register for the 46th annual FALJC seminar by completing the Seminar Registration Form and returning it to FALJC with your payment, or appropriate payment information, if your agency will be funding your attendance.      

 

Sincerely,

Judge Peter Davenport

President
