The Office of Administrative Law Judges' case work essentially
divides into three categories: black lung, longshore, and
"Traditional." The third category is referred to as
the "Traditional", not because the work involves older
programs, but because it is involves the type of cases
traditionally heard by federal ALJs, such as civil money
penalties, debarments, collection of back wages, and so forth.
In contrast, black lung and longshore cases are federal workers'
compensation programs.
