520			_aFederal administrative law judges (ALJs) are among the few classified service employees who are exempted from periodic performance review. The purpose is to protect their decisional independence from encroachment by the agencies that employ them. Govern the interest of the public administration community in performance evaluation, this article reviews and analyzes recent attempts to answer the question of who should evaluate federal ALJs' performance. The end in view is to challenge the community in general and human resources scholars and practitioners in particular to add the question posed here to their purview. The importance of the ALJ position and the difficulty of answering the question deserve a wider, informed audience. - Reproduced
