Deputy Attorney Generals
Overview
With approximately 125 attorneys throughout our agency, the Office of the Attorney General offers the right professional fit for anyone seeking to enhance and strengthen their legal acumen. While we have a number of attorneys from law schools located within the Hoosier state, our attorney base is comprised of professionals from approximately 35 different law schools from California to New York. Whether you have recently passed the Indiana Bar, or have spent a number of years practicing in a different sector, your experience at this office will be rewarding. Deputies with our agency are not required to solicit new clients or customers, nor are billable hour requirements included in your responsibilities. Therefore, you are able to pursue the pure practice of law, which is one of the many aspects of employment with our office that is cherished by our deputies.
Professional Development
As a deputy with our office, your writing and research skills will be greatly enhanced, regardless of your legal and professional experience. We have had attorneys present arguments at the United State Supreme Court, as well as the highest courts in the State of Indiana on a regular basis. All of our divisions have a high volume caseload and pace, so time management and prioritization certainly are attributes that must be maintained. You will have great ownership of your cases, as you will be the individual writing the appellate brief or arguing the case. If you want to practice law and play an integral part in the maintenance or formation of Indiana law, the Office of the Attorney General is the right place for you.
Mentors are available for all 125 of our attorneys. Many deputies have made a career of one section or division of the office, while a long list of others have complemented their legal experience by transferring from one division to another throughout their career. Teamwork is a trait that is exhibited by all employees here, as we do not have competition within the staff for the next partner position. We work for the best interest of the citizens of the state and the state itself.
Evaluations
As a deputy, you will receive feedback on a regular basis, be it in the form of an internal moot court, review of a brief or any other type of substantive work product. You will also receive a performance appraisal once you have completed six months of employment, and annually thereafter.
