The Office of Attorney General Keith Ellison has a clear mission: we help Minnesotans afford their lives and live with dignity, safety, and respect.  We are a group of dedicated professionals who choose public service as a calling, and we are actively and intentionally committed to supporting an internal culture that affirms that calling. The Office is one of Minnesota’s largest public law offices.

The Attorney General's Office is a public law office serving the State of Minnesota and its citizens. Our office has a pro-bono committee and support attorneys/employees wishing to explore this work. 

Our differences make us stronger and leveraging them helps us create a workforce where everyone can thrive. Our Office and the State of Minnesota is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to embedding diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility at our workplace. We do this by developing strong leaders and advocates, increasing cultural competence, and understanding among all employees, and removing institutional barriers and attitudes that prevent employees from advancing as far as their talents will take them. We prohibit discrimination and harassment of any kind based on race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth and related medical conditions), marital status, familial status, receipt of public assistance, membership or activity in a local human rights commission, disability, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender expression, gender identity, or age.

Summer Law Clerks work directly with Assistant Attorneys General across all divisions of the Office, and gain hands-on experience reviewing documents, researching legal issues, drafting written product, and appearing in court. This position allows law students to develop professional skills and expand their knowledge while performing meaningful and challenging work on a wide variety of issues. We require our law clerks to assume a significant amount of responsibility over their files and put forth the very best work on behalf of the public.
