Based on the adversarial model of justice, welfare fair hearings serve as one mechanism for insuring administrative justice in public assistance. This study examines the use of due process procedures by applicants and recipients of welfare in welfare hearings. The findings indicate that petitioners who retain legal assistance make use of procedural due process in advancing their cases at welfare fair hearings. However, for self-represented petitioners, the fair hearing mechanism has severe limitations as a method for redressing grievances
