Why Agency Hearings Aren’t Real Trials

In this episode of Ask The Judge, former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Daniel Kelly tackles a critical flaw in administrative law: the lack of real trials for Americans targeted by federal agencies.

Instead of a fair trial in a courtroom, citizens often face agency-run hearings where the agency acts as prosecutor, judge, and jury. These proceedings ignore basic rules of evidence and procedure—and yet courts treat them as if they were actual trials.

Justice Kelly explains why this setup violates due process and why the power to conduct trials must return to the judiciary.
