Return to Article: Discrimination issues on the agenda at EEOC conference

    Having conducted well over 100 telephone hearings, I do not in any way feel handicapped making witness credibility determinations. I reject, therefore, criticism from practioners who have scant experience with telephone hearings and who resist having to adapt to unfamiliar adjudicatory methods. Telephone hearings permit more cases to be actually heard by AJs, more speedily, more efficiently and more ecomnomically than the most common adudicatory method currently employed by AJs, summary judgment.Times are changing. The federal workforce is changing. Resources are limited. Status quo is not a viable option. We all need to look for ways to improve the hearing process, not perpetuate its shortcomings. Thank-you for the opportunity to comment.
