An ALJ is fully authorized and empowered to perform any and all other acts in connection with such proceedings that may be authorized by law or these regulations, including those acts necessary to ensure due process for all parties, and has wide latitude as to all phases of the conduct of the hearing, including the manner in which the hearing will proceed.
