Division of Social Justice
Environmental Protection Bureau – Albany
Assistant Attorney General
Reference No. EPB_ALB_AAG_3656
Application Deadline is March 15, 2024
The Office of the New York State Attorney General’s (OAG) Environmental Protection Bureau (EPB) is seeking a litigator to serve in the Albany office. This position involves representing the State in environmental, public health, and energy matters in lawsuits in state and federal court, and in proceedings before administrative agencies. The EPB enforces state and federal environmental laws that protect New Yorkers’ rights to clean air, clean water, and safe and healthy communities, and conducts investigations into violations of those laws. The Bureau is focused on advancing environmental justice throughout the State, including addressing the inequitable distribution of pollution and other environmental health burdens, and associated health disparities.
The EPB also defends in both federal and state courts the State’s executive agencies charged with environmental responsibilities, including the Departments of Environmental Conservation, Health, and Transportation; the Adirondack Park Agency; and the Lake George Park Commission, among others. This opening is primarily for a person interested in defending such state agencies. In addition, opportunities for other environmental work, including investigative and affirmative work, exist for all attorneys in the Bureau. Recent matters include defense of the statutory and regulatory scheme implemented by the Office of Renewable Energy Siting, defense of the Department of Transportation’s environmental review of its chosen alternative for replacing a major viaduct in Syracuse, and defense of permits issued by the Adirondack Park Agency to allow treatment of invasive Eurasian milfoil in Lake George.
