Agency Website Errors: Designing Better APA or Tort Remedies
3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. · The Jefferson Hotel
Presented by the Government Information and Privacy Committee
Large volumes of fact and opinion information are being placed onto federal agency websites, yet some fraction of the data is erroneous and some portion of the opinions presented are misleading or unreasonable. The APA's judicial review mechanisms are not well suited to disputes over errors in disclosure, and tort immunity seems to protect agencies. In October 2002, new accuracy standards will apply to all federal agency dissemination of data. This panel will look forward at the new section 515 "data quality" norms and will explore current law on APA and tort claims recoveries.

Ethics Issues for the Administrative Judiciary
4:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. · The Jefferson Hotel
Presented by the Adjudication Committee
This panel of distinguished state and federal administrative presiding officials, with the help of an ethics expert, will raise some of the ethics issues confronting the administrative judiciary. Recently, the presiding officials themselves have intensified their own examination of these issues. Obviously, these issues concern all those interested in the administrative law. This panel is intended to bring practitioners and administrative law scholars into the judicial ethics conversation. Among the issues which will be raised by the panel are ex parte communication, presiding official authority to impose sanctions, financial conflicts of interest and independence generally.
