The Maryland Attorney General's Office is the largest and finest law firm in the State. The breadth of the work performed by the Office is vast and encompasses criminal investigations and prosecutions, securities and antitrust actions, environmental enforcement, civil litigation, appellate advocacy, and representation of the State of Maryland in virtually every legal arena. From protecting the Chesapeake Bay against polluters to keeping Maryland's families safe from violence and unscrupulous business practices, our attorneys, support staff, and volunteers make a difference in communities across the State.
We are dedicated to a work environment that reflects the diversity of Maryland. The OAG has a responsibility to protect the rights, responsibilities, and privileges of all Marylanders, and that mission can only be accomplished if our workplace reflects inclusivity and equity. Our mission is to recruit, retain, and promote a staff reflective of a wide range of backgrounds, skills, and culture, including those who have historically been underrepresented in the practice of law.
The Maryland Attorney General's Office is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer and is committed to strengthening diversity within our agency. For more information about our initiatives, see our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion page.
