The heart of a state attorney general’s mission is to serve the public interest. Through direct action and the bully pulpit, attorneys general can impact law and policy across a broad range of issues within their state and across the country. Their offices can take a variety of actions, including initiating lawsuits, proposing and supporting state and federal  \nlegislation and regulations, forming task forces, issuing guidance or formal opinions, and cooperating with their fellow state attorneys general.  \nState attorney general offices (state AGOs) have a variety of job opportunities for new attorneys. Some state AGOs offer one-year fellowships, while others have Honors Attorney Programs. Many state AGOs have programs that allow new members of the bar to gain experience by volunteering their services. These types of volunteer positions have a variety of names—law clerk, pro bono attorney, associate, volunteer, and sometimes “Special Assistant Attorney General.”  \nBelow is a list of these opportunities in state AGOs organized by state. The following information was collected by the State Attorneys General Project (State AG Project) at ACS as a resource for ACS members. While we aim to provide comprehensive information, the absence of any state AGO from this list does not mean that opportunities are not available in other states. ACS cannot warrant that any position listed here is currently open. This information is current as of the date of publication, but the state AGOs may change or update the availability of job opportunities, their eligibility requirements, and deadlines. Please contact the state AGOs directly about any of these listings or other job opportunities.  \nFor more information on state attorneys general, please visit the State AG Project website at [https://acslaw.org/StateAG](https://acslaw.org/StateAG).  \nAlaska  \nThe Department of Law’s Fellowship Program is an opportunity for new attorneys gain broad experience and insight into the diverse public sector work of the Attorney General’s and District Attorney's offices.  \nThe Andrew J. Kleinfeld Fellowship will allow one person to work directly under the State Solicitor General, assisting in appellate advocacy before appellate courts inside Alaska and outside the State.  \n• The fellowship will last 24 months, with a mix of criminal and civil appellate practice. Fellows will work under the supervision of the Solicitor General.  \n• Applicants should be finishing or recently completing an appellate clerkship—ideally from the Alaska Supreme Court, the Ninth Circuit, or another federal appellate court.  \n• Candidates who are interested in applying for this position must submit a resume, law school transcript, a professional writing sample, two letters of recommendation—preferably including one from a judge—or two letters of recommendation and an additional reference from a judge and a short letter describing their interest in Alaska and to the principles embodied by Judge Kleinfeld—clean and articulate advocacy and arguments grounded in statutes and the Constitution.  \n• Please email application materials in PDF format [to](to Kleinfeld.Fellowship@alaska.gov)[ ](to Kleinfeld.Fellowship@alaska.gov)[Kleinfeld.Fellowship@alaska.gov](to Kleinfeld.Fellowship@alaska.gov).  \nThe Civil Division of the Department of the Law offers two General Fellowships.  \n• The Fellowship (General) is a 24-month fellowship in the Civil Division’s Professional Development and Public Service section in Anchorage or Juneau.  \n• The Fellowship (Litigation) is a specialized training opportunity that allows fellows to develop strong litigation skills and gain substantial trial experience under the mentorship of talented leaders within the department.
