Who Are We?
We are the State’s law office serving Tennessee with principled, independent, and excellent counsel. The Tennessee Attorney General and Reporter represents all State executives, officials, departments, boards, agencies, and commissions in matters arising from their public duties. Such representation includes participation in litigation, transactional matters, and giving day-to-day legal advice to a wide variety of State entities. The Office employs approximately 200 attorneys organized into 17 legal divisions within 5 sections. Our Core Values of Civility, Client-Focus, Collaboration, Discipline, and Integrity coupled with our vision to be the best public law office in the country make this an ideal place to start your legal career.
Summer Law Clerk Program
This paid program gives students an opportunity to gain valuable hands-on experience in public law while making a difference in the lives of Tennesseans. Our Summer Law Clerks come from law schools throughout the country and bring a range of interests and backgrounds to the program. Law clerks will spend a full summer with one section/division. While clerks are assigned a supervisor in their specific division for guidance and oversight, they will also have a mentor. The mentor would be a less formal arrangement and may be in another division. This allows for a robust and varied learning experience for rising second- and third-year law students
