The AGO is composed of diverse, collegial and supremely talented legal professionals who are resolute in their commitment to public service and share the common goal of advancing the public interest.

For more information about the AGO, we encourage you to review the Office's newest Annual Report which can be found HERE (Download PDF reader) and view THIS VIDEO.

The AGO invites any qualified first and second-year law students seeking academic credit to apply to serve as a 2022 summer law clerk extern with the Olympia Section of the Licensing and Administrative Law (LAL) Division.

The LAL Division consists of 23 attorneys and 15 professional staff based in Olympia and Seattle sections. LAL’s work touches the lives of all Washingtonians and focuses on promoting public safety, protecting the economy, and preserving public integrity and trust. The Division handles litigation and advice for three main clients: the Department of Licensing (including its regulation of drivers and professionals and businesses); Employment Security Department (including its Unemployment Insurance, Paid Family and Medical Leave, and Long-Term Support Services programs); and, the Liquor and Cannabis Board.

LAL also handles litigation and advice for several other boards, commissions, and committees, including the Lottery Commission; Interpreter Commission; Board of Accountancy; Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors; Executive Ethics Board; Commission on Judicial Conduct; Public Records Exemption Accountability (Sunshine) Committee; Certified Professional Guardianship Board; Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals; Consumer-Directed Employer Rate Setting Board; Environmental and Land Use Hearings Office; and Columbia River Gorge Commission.

The work of the Division also includes client advice and litigation before the Office of Administrative Hearings, professional licensing boards, Washington superior and appellate and federal courts, and ranges from entry-level to high-profile and cutting-edge. LAL prides itself as an energetic, collegial, and high performing organization of professionals who strive to provide the most ethical and high-quality legal services to our clients. We enjoy our work, our colleagues, and our clients.

Duties

• Researching and writing memoranda, pleadings, and correspondence;
• Assist in the preparation for litigation, i.e., depositions, witness interviews, and discovery;
• Drafting client advice memos and attending meetings where that advice is then presented to the client;
• Shadow and observe Assistant Attorneys General in court or during administrative proceedings; and
• Present cases in court (if WSBA Rule 9 qualified).

Qualifications

Students must be enrolled in an ABA accredited law school during the duration of their service. In addition, the AGO seeks applicants who are committed to public service as demonstrated by an applicant's background, talents, attitude, and enthusiasm for public law practice.

Per AGO Policy, employees and volunteers of the AGO must be fully vaccinated as a condition of employment. Being fully vaccinated means that an individual is at least two weeks past their final dose of an authorized COVID-19 vaccine regimen.
Effective March 14, 2022, the AGO announced pursuant to its policy, that employees and volunteers must also receive a booster shot as a condition of employment.
Employees or volunteers who are not eligible to receive the booster before their start date, due to required waiting times after receiving their initial vaccine(s), must provide confirmation of the vaccine type and date received so the AGO can calculate the date by which they must receive the booster. If you are selected to serve within the AGO as an employee or volunteer, you will be required to provide proof of vaccination and booster (if already received) before you are able to begin work. You may request an accommodation if you are unable to meet the requirement due to a medical or religious necessity.
