The New York
State Office of the Attorney General (“OAG”) is seeking bright, dynamic, hard-working,
motivated attorneys to serve on behalf of the people of the State of New York
as Volunteer Assistant Attorneys General within bureaus and regional offices
throughout the state.
The ideal candidate must
possess excellent writing, analytical and oral advocacy skills to assist our
Assistant Attorneys General (AAGs) in all bureaus with the investigation and
prosecution of affirmative cases and litigating defensive cases. Fluency in other languages (e.g., Spanish,
Mandarin, Russian, Korean, etc.) in addition to English is a plus, but not
required.
The New York State Office of the Attorney General’s Division
of Social Justice is offering a one
(1)
year law graduate fellowship
with placement in the Manhattan and Albany offices (see the bureau descriptions
for details). The Social Justice Fellowship is uncompensated. Post-graduate law students with law school funding, public interest fellowships, as well as those candidates who may not have outside
funding, are encouraged to apply.
Social
Justice Fellows will be placed in one of the Division’s six (6) bureaus designated as a Volunteer Assistant
Attorney General.*
Fellow(s) will have the opportunity to work with experienced attorneys to gain hands-on legal experience assisting with all aspects of the Bureau’s work including
investigations,
litigation, public education
and
community outreach. Applicants should indicate their bureau and
location preferences in their cover letters.
Location preferences will be honored; however, bureau assignment may
ultimately be based upon the needs of the Division.
The
New York State Office of the Attorney General is seeking bright, dynamic,
hard-working, motivated attorneys to serve on behalf of the people of the State
of New York as Volunteer Assistant Attorneys General (AAGs) in the Commercial

Taxation and Finance, the Department of Financial Services, the Department of
State, and the New York State Insurance Fund, in state and federal courts in

and have significant financial and policy implications for the State of New
York.
