The Office of Administrative Hearings serves citizens who challenge administrative action taken by the State of North Carolina. State employees with civil rights grievances often use it. The office has the full power of a
regular court.

Reflecting back over his service to the state, Mann said, "Things today are much more complicated, government is no longer simple." Mann began his fourth four-year term this month. (To learn more about the Office of Administrative Hearings see their web site at www.oah.state.nc.us)
