The materials presented on the Administrative Review Board and Office of Administrative Law Judges websites are not a substitute for legal advice or your own research.
The ARB and OALJ websites are repositories of information about adjudications at the Department of Labor. The sites include links to relevant rules and procedures, contacts, research libraries, decisions, and other information.
Although the websites endeavor to provide information that is timely, accurate, and complete, you must keep in mind that adjudicatory agencies cannot provide legal advice to litigants or their representatives. Thus, information contained in these webpages, or linked from these pages, cannot, under any circumstance, substitute for legal advice from an attorney or representative. Nor can it substitute for a party's own research into the statutory, regulatory, and case law authorities. Persons accessing this site must undertake responsibility for assessing the relevance and accuracy of its content. The ARB and OALJ do not recognize these webpages as final legal authority and they should not be cited or relied upon as such.

The guidance by the Board on these matters may change without notice. Please note also that statutes and regulations may change and may not be reflected in this guidance.
