The Office of the Solicitor's mission is to meet the legal service demands
of the entire Department of Labor. As the Secretary of Labor and other Department
officials seek to accomplish the Department's overall mission and to further
specific priorities, the Office of the Solicitor (SOL) provides legal advice
regarding how to achieve those goals. In doing so, SOL ensures that the Nation's
labor laws are forcefully and fairly applied to protect the Nation's workers.
SOL fulfills its mission by representing the Secretary and the client agencies
in all necessary litigation, including both enforcement actions and defensive
litigation, and in alternative dispute resolution activities; by assisting
in the development of regulations, standards and legislative proposals; and
by providing legal opinions and advice concerning all the Department's activities.
