I was referring to federal ALJs, under the APA. In addition to the above requirements, they have to complete a lengthy questionnaire and submit to an exhaustive interview.

I am not, however, familiar with Tax Court, and the nomenclature (“administrative court judge”) may be correct there, since that is a type of court, as I understand it, and probably is governed by a different set of rules.
