OAH is the largest of three Executive Branch Courts with over 75 full-time equivalents located in St. Paul and Duluth. OAH, with 30 judges, is comparable in size to the Ramsey County District Court with 32 judges. OAH has exclusive, bench trial-level jurisdiction over 200 unique areas of administrative law and workers’ compensation. This means the decisions of OAH are appealable to higher-level appellate courts (Minnesota Court of Appeals, Minnesota Supreme Court, and Minnesota Workers’ Compensation Court of Appeals) and not at trial-level district courts. OAH renders justice through fair, timely and impartial administrative bench trial hearings and high-quality dispute resolution services. Since 1976, Administrative Law Judges have served over 250 state agencies and local units of government and heard cases involving over 200 unique areas of law.
Administrative Law Judges preside over cases involving challenges to state and local government action, including:
Utility rates and routes
