Or commensurate with experience
May 3, June 14, 2024
The Rhode Island Office of the Attorney General is seeking a candidate for a Special Assistant Attorney General (SAAG) position within the Public Protection Bureau of the Civil Division.
Attorney General:
The Attorney General is the state's top lawyer and law enforcement official, protecting and serving the people and interests of Rhode Island through a broad range of duties.
Every day, the Office's attorneys fight to ensure the public safety of the state's communities, improve the economic security of its citizens, safeguard the state's spectacular natural resources, and restore the public's trust in government.
Assistant and Special Assistant Attorneys General represent the people of Rhode Island in civil and criminal matters before trial courts, appellate courts, and the supreme courts of Rhode Island and the United States.
The Office is unique among attorneys general offices across the country. Out of fifty states, only two other offices share the same broad criminal mission.The Office's attorneys prosecute complex and violent crimes but also functionally serve as one of the nation's largest district attorney's offices, prosecuting all felonies throughout the state.
Civil Division:
The Civil Division leads affirmative and defensive litigation on behalf of the state, counsels the Attorney General and other government officials, and performs a range of regulatory duties.
From identifying and pursuing landmark civil actions against businesses and individuals that have harmed Rhode Islanders to defending state laws, state agencies, state general officers, legislators, and employees, the Division and its attorneys are at the forefront of matters being litigated before trial courts, appellate courts, and the supreme courts of Rhode Island and the United States.
Public Protection Bureau:
The Public Protection Bureau has been recently created within the Civil Division of the Attorney General's office and is comprised of four units - Healthcare, Consumer and Economic Justice, Environmental and Energy and Civil & Community Rights.
Each of these units affirmatively develops legal work and initiatives by using the legal authority of the Office of Attorney General to advance and protect dignity, quality of life, and equity for all Rhode Islanders.
The Public Protection Bureau and each of its units also engage with community members and advocates to identify needed change and with thought partners to understand drivers of poverty and inequities within existing systems.
Litigation and other initiatives are chosen based on understanding where change is needed and the relationship of evident needs to larger drivers of inequity, and are prioritized by evaluating the potential for impact.
Consumer and Economic Justice Unit:
The mission of the Consumer and Economic Justice Unit is to protect Rhode Islanders and Rhode Island businesses from unfair, deceptive, fraudulent, or anti-competitive trade practices.
Unit staff has the ability to make a direct and meaningful impact on their local community while working in an interesting and evolving area of the law.
The Unit identifies business practices that negatively impact Rhode Islanders, investigates, and when necessary, takes appropriate enforcement action, including filing civil suit.
The Unit is also an advocate for systemic legal, regulatory and industry change that will benefit consumers, workers, and students.
The Unit handles complex, fast-moving, and high-stakes matters on behalf of the State ranging from multi-state antitrust lawsuits against big tech to false advertising claims against businesses preying on Rhode Islanders.
This work utilizes a broad range of legal tools across industries working on timely and impactful issues.The Unit is comprised of attorneys and non-attorney investigators and has direct responsibility for educating consumers, fielding consumer complaints, and responding directly to constituents.
If applying for the position by submitting cover letter and resume via mail or email, no need to apply through online system.
