DOAR analyzes every new ITC investigation to ensure we are prepared to meet our clients’ expert and trial support needs. Our recent year-end ITC report provided data on 2025’s ITC, and this new in-depth judge report, ITC ALJ Spotlight: Chief Administrative Law Judge Clark Cheney, features expanded data and analysis of CALJ Cheney’s activity at this specialized venue.
ITC data is often fragmented across multiple sources, making it difficult to analyze trends comprehensively. To address this challenge, we conducted an in-depth review of every investigation assigned to CALJ Cheney since his appointment in 2021, pulling data directly from EDIS and IDS and manually analyzing each matter. This approach enables us to provide exclusive insights into his background, experience, case management approach, and decision-making patterns, while delivering updated statistics on procedural timelines, expert challenge decisions, unfair act allegations, Ground Rule developments, and Initial and Final Determinations.
The report offers valuable insight into CALJ Cheney’s expectations and practices, helping inform expert selection, trial strategy, and case preparation before the Commission by highlighting:
- His Professional Background
- DOAR’s Technology Classification of Investigations
- Timeline Analysis
- Ground Rules Evolution
- Initial and Final Determinations
- And More
DOAR will continue this series with detailed profiles of individual ITC ALJs, providing data-driven insight into their investigations, procedural approaches, and areas of focus. The next installment will examine Administrative Law Judge Cameron Elliot and the trends shaping his docket.
