The Office of the Attorney General’s Public Protection Division has a wide-ranging mission. Our litigators fight to maintain a fair and competitive business environment, ensure all levels of government in our state remain open and transparent, and work to ensure our citizens are safe from sexually violent predators. Attorneys in the Public Protection Division can be a voice for the voiceless, standing up for consumers and citizens who have been swindled by scammers, exploited through unlawful business practices, or subjected to uncooperative government officials.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Division’s Open Government Section. This section investigates possible violations of the Kansas Open Meetings Act and Kansas Open Records Act and takes appropriate action when violations are found. The Attorney General has the power to enforce the law via administrative findings and orders or through court proceedings, and Open Government Section attorneys pursue those avenues as appropriate.

The Assistant Attorney General will be part of a focused team investigating and resolving alleged violations of the open government laws.  The successful candidate must have strong analytical and writing skills, be able to manage a moderate caseload, and be an effective communicator. We aim to hire dynamic team players who exemplify the highest standards of integrity, efficiency, and professionalism. If you’re a bold-but-thoughtful litigator with concern for your fellow citizens, we want to talk to you. Maturity and a willingness to help others are essential to this position.
