GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Office of the Attorney General’s Opinion Committee division researches and drafts formal legal opinions publicly issued by the Attorney General in discharge of his constitutional and statutory duty to provide legal guidance to authorized requestors. The Opinion Committee engages in a wide array of challenging and novel legal issues and works closely with executive administration and the Attorney General to ensure formal legal opinions are of the highest quality and provide all Texans with sound legal advice. Although the Attorney General’s formal legal opinions are non-binding, they are considered persuasive authority in Texas and are routinely relied on by state agencies and local governments as quasi-judicial interpretations of law. Attorneys in the Opinion Committee division work in a collaborative environment in which work product is improved through a peer-review process that aims to produce opinions of the highest caliber. This is selective opportunity for attorneys with strong research and writing skills and is ideally suited for applicants with clerkship experience, experience as a staff attorney in the judicial branch of government, or with appellate or local-government experience.
The OAG is a dynamic state agency with over 4,000 employees throughout the State of Texas. As the State’s law firm, the OAG provides exemplary legal representation in diverse areas of law. OAG employees enjoy excellent benefits (-at-a-Glance) along with tremendous opportunities to do important work at a large, dynamic state agency making a positive difference in the lives of Texans. Assistant Attorneys General (AAGs) experience the challenge and honor of public service while enjoying a healthy work-life balance; hands-on legal experience; and engaging camaraderie in Austin, the scenic and lively capital of Texas.
