Chapter 7 - Conduct and Professionalism for Adjudicators

EOIR takes seriously allegations of adjudicator misconduct, especially when such allegations concern the integrity of the hearing process. Accordingly, EOIR provides a procedure through which government entities or the public, including parties to proceedings, may report allegations of misconduct. Stakeholders also periodically raise issues of adjudicator conduct directly with EOIR supervisors and management, which may, in turn, be treated as complaints. For further information, please see EOIR Policy Memorandum 21-8 in Part VII of the Policy Manual or visit EOIR’s website.
