OAH's Office of General Counsel
OAH's Office of General Counsel was a new addition to OAH in 2023. The office is staffed by 6 staff attorneys.

OAH?renders justice?through fair, timely, and impartial administrative hearings and high-quality dispute resolution services. OAH is an?energetic, responsive, and respected?service provider to Minnesotans, state and local governments, and the workers? compensation system.?
OAH is the largest of three Executive Branch Courts with over sixty 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.
