Miscellaneous Case Types Collection

The OALJ Law Library has separate libraries for several of the larger "traditional case areas, such as whistleblower, immigration-related labor issues, JTPA, and OFCCP. The library you are in now covers the wide variety of the remaining traditional case areas.

Employment and Training Administration

The Employment and Training Administration administers various federal government job training and worker dislocation programs, federal grants to states for public employment service programs, and unemployment insurance benefits programs. Some of these programs can involve disputes that result in a hearing before a DOL ALJ. ETA-related immigration and WIA cases are set out in separate collections. Because Job Service Complaint System disputes are usually (but not always) immigration-related, they are found in the Immigration collection. OALJ and ARB materials relating to other ETA-programs are found in this collection.
