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.
