Tutorial: The Attorney Generals of the 50 states
The attorney general is the chief law enforcement officer of
each state. Duties vary from state to state, but generally, the
attorney general will represent the State in court. In the last
two decades, attorney generals have become consumer advocates and
often institute litigation on behalf of the people of the state
under the doctrine of parens patriae (they are the "father" or
"head of the family" of the people of the state; therefore, they
can generally represent the interests of the people of the
State.) Recently several attorneys general have sued milk
producers to collect overcharges due to bid rigging in public
school milk contracts. Often the attorney general will bring
legal proceedings against crooked businesses to cause them to
"cease and desist" illegal practices. The attorney general may
actually investigate, but often consumers complaints will lead to
action.
Some attorney generals will also advise on state law on
request, but this is not always certain. (And you may not get a
correct answer.)
The addresses and phone numbers of all 50 states attorneys
general follow.
