Profile

Attorney General Fellowships Fellows will be placed in one of several divisions in the agency based on a combination of need and interest, including the Office of the Solicitor General, the Office of Special Litigation, and the Civil or Criminal Litigation Divisions. While responsibilities will differ based on placement, fellows will work closely with agency lawyers on high-profile and complex litigation on behalf of the State of Texas. For example, fellows in the Office of the Solicitor General will assist attorneys in drafting briefs and preparing for oral arguments in appellate cases, and may also have the opportunity to brief and argue their own appeal under the supervision of agency attorneys. Will work for the Child Support Division. The Child Support Division is the largest division within the Office of the Attorney General and has over 70 field and regional offices around the state to serve the public. In accordance with state and federal law, the OAG is responsible for the establishment and enforcement of child support. The OAG represents the state and cannot represent individuals involved in child support claims. The agency’s Child Support Division has a responsibility to assist parents in obtaining the financial support necessary for children to grow up and succeed in life. To encourage parental responsibility, the attorney general establishes paternity of children, establishes court orders for financial and medical support, and vigorously enforces support orders. The attorney general promotes the emotional involvement of both parents in the life of the child by working with community groups, schools, and hospitals. Applications for fellowships will be accepted between January 1, 2017, and May 1, 2017. Interviews and offers will occur on a rolling basis, so interested individuals are encouraged to apply early.
