The Executive Office for Immigration review does not have ALJs, but rather IJs. 68.33.203.109

What's it like to be an ALJ? I've heard it's a great job. Anyone out there want to add their personal perspective? ConnorsMom (talk) 23:13, 9 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

There are at least three negative inventories in the article. They say "As such, they do not exercise full judicial power, essentially, the power over life, liberty,and property." "Agency ALJs do not have the power to offer such advisory opinions as it would be in violation.." "ALJs are limited as they have no power to sanction unless a ..."

The reason to avoid negative inventories, is that it is hard to know when to stop. Do they hear probate? Can they arrest people? Can they... etc. Let's try to find a way of stating this in a positive frame. The lack of power will then be obvious. It is not only poor writing, it can be hard to maintain and is really out of place in an encyclopedia. It is not a "put-down" article for ALJs.

I don't say that police are not FBI agents, that military intelligence is not the National Security Agency or CIA, etc. Just stating their capabilities clearly should be sufficient. Student7 (talk) 22:51, 11 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
