A ten-year instructor for the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine MRO course, and a past advisor to the American Society of Addiction Medicine, Mr. Judge has lectured extensively on school and workplace substance abuse issues. Recently, Mr. Judge has participated in regional student drug testing seminars on behalf of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. In addition, he was an invited panelist at the 1988 White House Conference for a Drug Free America and participated in Railway Labor Executives Association vs. Skinner decided by the United States Supreme Court in 1989.

Mr. Judge has edited and written several publications, including a reference manual for the motor carrier industry entitled, Drug Testing: Motor Carrier Compliance Manual, which is published by J. J.

In 1995, Mr. Judge co-founded Info-Lab, Inc. and managed Workplace Health Co-Op, a substance abuse program administrator until 1999. During his tenure with Info-Lab, Inc., Mr. Judge also co-owned and operated Info-Meth, a DHHS-certified laboratory located in Peoria, Illinois.

Mr. Judge's most recent projects include the creation of an online legal reference resource called DT State Laws, in addition to a certified online collectors' registry called National Qualified Collector Registry.

The National Qualified Collector Registry is an on-line audit and repository service found at www.CollectorRegistry.com. Mr. Judge is also working with industry partners to establish The Center for Drug Test Information and Training, a complete resource for state-specific information and training materials.

Also, Mr. Judge provides risk management assessments, legal and consulting assistance and develops drug-testing policies for Schools, employers and labor/management committees. He operates a web site dedicated to this effort at www.LawsInHand.com. He also is a past Co-Chairman of the Illinois State Chamber's Drug-Free Illinois Workplace Program.
