As legislators and government executives seek to streamline spending and maximize value, laws and regulations must be tailored to accommodate these changes. Balancing budgets, downsizing, right sizing and reducing are terms that are all too familiar to our nation's workers. They, too, affect the judiciary and NCALJ has served as the ALJ's voice in developing guidelines for appropriate facilities, staff support, working conditions and compensation.

The National Conference of the Administrative Law Judiciary (NCALJ) is comprised of both federal and state administrative law judges, board of contract appeals judges and hearing officers and other administrative adjudicators within the federal, state and local executive branch of government.

NCALJ's mission is to enhance the status and competence of the administrative judiciary and to promote the quality, efficiency and delivery of justice through the operation of the administrative justice system. It concentrates its efforts on improving the administrative judiciary at all levels of government by quickly and effectively responding to crucial issues affecting all administrative law judges. Serving as the national voice of the administrative judiciary, NCALJ strives to be the most reliable, respected, balanced and unbiased source for making recommendations on behalf of the administrative judiciary in all areas of concern, including judicial independence, professionalism, procedures, management, education, selection, tenure, compensation and public understanding of judicial functions within the executive branch of government. NCALJ has played a leading role in defining, supporting and maintaining the independence of the administrative judiciary. It strives to develop programs and address issues in an effort to achieve greater efficiency, procedural uniformity and economic stability for everyone involved with this specialized government sector.
