What role does the Attorney General play regarding the state's civil cases?

The role of the Attorney General in relation to the state's civil cases is to represent the state in all civil cases. This includes not only cases at the federal level but also those handled at the state level. The Attorney General acts on behalf of the state and its interests in legal matters, ensuring that the laws are upheld and the rights of the state are protected across a range of civil issues, including but not limited to contract disputes, regulatory matters, and issues pertaining to state agencies.

This key function is supported by the Attorney General's authority to bring lawsuits on behalf of the state, intervene in civil litigation where the state's interests are at stake, and defend the state against lawsuits. This comprehensive responsibility underscores the importance of the Attorney General's office in maintaining the rule of law and protecting the interests of the state's citizens.
