e-Judication is an initiative of the Department of Labor's (DOL) adjudicatory
agencies to integrate and improve computer and communications systems and business
processes to make DOL's formal hearings and appeals more accessible and understandable
for appellants, attorneys and other interested parties. The e-Judication team
is in the process of charting a course for the next generation of case management.
The lodestar of this effort is maintaining a citizen-centric service. Thus,
e-Judication will strive to simplify the delivery of services, accelerate case
processing, reduce costs, and streamline all aspects of communication (Government
to Citizen, Government to Business, and Inter-Organizational).
The first phase of e-Judication is the establishment of a web portal providing
an integrated point of entry to the DOL's adjudicatory agencies. The web portal
provides an information gateway to legal research materials on relevant case
law; statutes and regulations; answers to frequently asked questions; contact
information; and information specifically for certain groups of persons who
typically appear in adjudications before the DOL, such as claimants, attorneys,
witnesses, and others.
In the coming months and years, e-Judication will introduce new services to
the public, such as electronic service of decisions, methods for checking on
the status of a case, and electronic filing of documents.
The following agencies are sponsors of the e-Judication initiative:
