Time: 12 Noon to 1:00 p.m. CT Live
Format: Webinar (virtual) Online
Location: Teams Webinar
Description: The Commerce, Elections, and Trades Division of the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office anticipates soon having an opening for an Assistant Attorney General. This position will primarily focus on representing the Department of Commerce in matters before the Public Utilities Commission and Office of Administrative Hearings. Through their representation, division staff help secure safe, reliable, and affordable electric, gas, and telephone service. Cases may include a broad range of issues, including setting utility rates, facilitating Minnesota’s transition to clean energy, and preventing utility companies from charging ratepayers for costs that the companies imprudently incurred. Attorneys also work on energyrelated appeals and have opportunities to work on other cases for the division. This event is an opportunity to hear from division members who focus on energy work, learn more about the day-to-day responsibilities of the position, and ask questions about the role and the office.
