Why FERC ALJ matters. #
FERC practice is highly technical (engineering, economic, environmental) and AI use is growing for evidence summary and modeling. The absence of formal guidance is increasingly notable given the volume of AI-assisted FERC work.
Practice implications. #
In the absence of FERC-specific guidance, representatives should default to ABA Op. 512 and applicable state-bar guidance. Verification duty is universal.
