[ST. PAUL, MN] – The Governor’s Office has announced they are accepting applications for the chief administrative law judge position at the Court of Administrative Hearings (CAH).
The Court of Administrative Hearings (formerly known as the Office of Administrative Hearings) is an administrative court that holds fair and impartial hearings in contested cases involving challenges to government action or workers’ compensation disputes. The court also exercises general supervision over state agency rulemaking. The chief administrative law judge must be learned in the law and is appointed by the Governor for a term of six years, with advice and consent of the Senate. The chief judge is responsible for appointing other administrative law judges and compensation judges as necessary to fulfill the duties of the court.
Individuals wishing to apply may request an application by contacting the Office of the Governor and Lt. Governor via e-mail at [email protected].
Application materials are due by 4:00 pm on Wednesday, October 8 and should be addressed to Governor Walz.

About CAH
The 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.
