Looking at the ALJ statistics across the county, it is amazing that allowance rates among judges vary from 11% to 90%. I certainly agree with your title: lack of consistency is a problem. In my part of New England, the range is much narrower, and the differences among judges are more about personality or style rather than differing allowance rates. Thanks again for your article. Jonathan,
