The OAG has 15 sections: Privacy and Data Security Privacy and Data Security The Privacy and Data Security Section handles matters related to the protection of Connecticut residents' personal information and data. The section enforces state laws governing notification of data breaches, safeguarding of personal information, and protection of Social Security numbers and other sensitive personal information. The section is also responsible for enforcement of federal laws under which the Attorney General has enforcement authority, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). In addition, this section provides the Attorney General with advice and counsel on proposed legislation and other matters regarding privacy and data security, and it engages in extensive outreach to citizens and businesses on matters relating to data protection and privacy. Interns have opportunities: to work closely with attorneys to advise the Attorney General and client agencies on legal issues involving privacy and data security. Also, interns will have opportunities to participate in all aspects of a privacy or data security investigation, often in coordination with other state Attorneys General. This may include attending witness and expert interviews, settlement conferences, and reviewing forensic investigative reports and discovery. Who should apply: Although we have accepted undergraduate and paralegal students, we prefer law students who have completed at least one year and who have demonstrated proficiency in legal writing and research. An information technology or computer background is a plus, but not required. Thank you for your interest in an internship with the Office of the Attorney General (OAG). The Attorney General serves as Connecticut’s chief legal officer for civil matters, and the OAG serves as legal counsel to all state agencies. The Connecticut Constitution, statutes and common law authorize the Attorney General to advance the public interest on behalf of the people of our state in legal matters.
