Can I have a pre-hearing conference with an administrative law judge?
The parties have the option of requesting a pre-hearing conference with an administrative law judge prior to the date of their hearing. The purpose of the pre-hearing conference is to provide the parties with the opportunity to narrow the issues for the hearing, stipulate to those facts which are not controverted, simplify the presentation of evidence at the hearing and possibly resolve the case, in whole or in part, without the necessity of a hearing. Pre-hearing conferences are usually initiated by the Division of Tax Appeals and are conducted by means of telephone conferences.
