Practicing Before the D.C. Office of Employee Appeals

A free webinar co-sponsored by the MWELA Bench Bar Committee, the Bar Association of the District of Columbia and DC Affairs Community of the D.C. Bar.

Join us for an overview of the District of Columbia Office of Employee Appeals (OEA), the independent agency that hears appeals from D.C. government employees challenging terminations, suspensions, and other adverse actions. We will walk through the OEA’s jurisdiction, procedures, and timelines, and examine how appeals proceed from initial filing through final decision. The panel will also discuss the scope of OEA review, common procedural traps, and strategic considerations for both appellants and agency representatives. Whether you represent employees or the government, this program offers essential insights into navigating practice before the OEA.

This event does not offer CLE credit. Registrants will receive Zoom login details on the day before the event.
