This session discusses all factors that administrative hearing officials may use to assess credibility in administrative hearings that are recognized in evidence law, in addition to and separate from demeanor evidence. The various credibility factors, such as consistency or inconsistency of statements, the inherent improbability of testimony, or the interests of the witness, will be examined and analyzed. This class will also review the psychological research related to truth-telling and deception, and how that research may apply to credibility determinations made by administrative hearing officials.
