[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1166128, member: 22880"] Most likely the equivalent of 'chambers' for a trial (what happened here wasn't a trial, merely a proceeding). The FedEx 'team' most likely thought that our OP wouldn't retain council, so they probably came into the proceeding thinking they could 'steamroller' the OP and walk out with their appeal approved in half an hour's time. I'm sure when they learned the OP retained council, they crapped a few little green apples and FedEx's council requested the equivalent of 'chambers' to have a discussion with the administrative law judge in the absence of the OP. I'm sure the OP's manager and HR rep were also asked to 'excuse themselves' so that the judge could have a conversation with just the two opposing councils present. Once the FedEx council's OBVIOUS attempt to obtain a delay from the administrative law judge failed (I'm sure FedEx's lawyer didn't come prepared to face opposing legal council), they 'tap danced' through the proceeding as best they could. The OP's council earned his pay and obviously shot enough holes into FedEx's assertion, that the administrative law judge didn't buy it - our OP got his unemployment affirmed. Classic FedEx legal style in practice - they will vigorously defend FedEx up to and until they realize they will lose - then walk out and either make a settlement or not contest an existing penalty.
