Is there an opportunity to present written argument on issues of law and evidence on issue of fact?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only upon request
• D. Only for law, not evidence

Answer: (A)

In administrative practice, you can file written submissions that address both the law and the evidence on what is in dispute. This allows the parties to articulate the applicable legal standards and to summarize and argue how the evidentiary record supports their position on a contested fact. Because of this, there is an opportunity to present written argument on issues of law and on the evidence related to a factual issue. This isn’t limited to arguing the law only, nor is it restricted to situations only when requested; and it isn’t restricted to law without reference to the evidence.
