What do NAAG staff members do?

The NAAG staff, which numbers 50, perform a variety of functions in support of the Attorneys General. Of these staffers, there are 16 lawyers who provide technical assistance to the membership in the following areas: antitrust, bankruptcy, civil rights, consumer protection and telemarketing fraud, corrections, criminal law and cybercrime, Internet/technology, environment, end-of-life health care, Medicaid fraud, the U.S. Supreme Court/state constitutional law, tobacco and violence against women. NAAG also provides communications assistance to the public information offices of Attorneys General, and state and federal legislative monitoring of bills/issues as directed by the membership. The staff serves as a valuable resource to augment the work of the Attorney General staffs (which numbers approximately 11,000 nationwide). The staff manages information clearinghouses, collects and disseminates information on state/federal legal developments and serves as the focal point for the state contacts in that area. NAAG staff does not provide legal advice to the public, nor does the staff investigate individual legal complaints.
