About CAH

The Minnesota Court of Administrative Hearings (CAH) is Minnesota's administrative court. CAH renders justice through fair, timely, and impartial administrative hearings and high-quality dispute resolution services. CAH is an energetic, responsive, and respected service provider to Minnesotans, state and local governments, and the workers’ compensation system.

CAH is the largest of three Executive Branch Courts with over 60 full-time equivalents located in St. Paul and Duluth. CAH, with 30 judges, is comparable in size to the Ramsey County District Court with 32 judges.

CAH has exclusive, trial-level jurisdiction over 200 unique areas of administrative law and workers’ compensation. This means the decisions of CAH 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.
