Securities and Exchange Commission | 138 S. Ct. 2044 (2018) The Constitution’s Appointments Clause dictates the method for appointing officers of the United States. But who counts as an officer of the United States? In Lucia versus Securities and Exchange Commission, the Supreme Court considered the question. The Securities and Exchange Commission instituted administrative proceedings against Raymond Lucia, assigning an administrative law judge, or A L J, to handle the case. The Commission had five such judges, all appointed by its staff. This position was created by statute and was a career appointment. The Commission’s A L Js presided over administrative proceedings like a federal judge over a bench trial. For example, they heard witnesses, ruled on motions and evidence, and enforced discovery orders. When a hearing concluded, the A L J issued an initial decision, including findings of fact and conclusions of law, and issuing sanctions if appropriate. The Commission could review this initial decision on appeal or its own initiative. If the Commission decided against review, it issued an order that the initial decision was final and was deemed the Commission’s action. After Lucia’s hearing, the A L J ruled that Lucia’d violated federal securities laws and imposed sanctions. Lucia appealed to the Commission, arguing that the A L Js were officers of the United States and therefore subject to the Appointments Clause. Lucia maintained that their appointment by Commission staff, instead of the Commission itself, was unconstitutional. The Commission rejected Lucia’s appeal, concluding that its A L Js were simply employees. The D C Circuit affirmed. The United States Supreme Court granted cert. Want more details on this case?
