2013 Revised Notes
The administrative law judge, rather than the clerk of the Court, provides the notice of oral argument. Oral argument is discretionary with the presiding judge, and is ordinarily not ordered in appeals from the Office of Motor Vehicle Hearings or the Department of Employment and Workforce (DEW) unless the appeal involves a novel issue or a question of exceptional importance.
