The
Legal Department of the Administrative Office oversees
the full range of legal matters that arise within the
Trial Court including review and approval of contracts
and leases, provision of representation before the Industrial
Accident Board in workers' compensation claims, and assessment
of presentment of tort claims. The Department works directly
with Assistant Attorneys General in providing representation
whenever the Trial Court or any of its Departments are
parties in litigation brought before any state or federal
court. In addition, all legislation that affects or concerns
the Trial Court is reviewed and followed by the Legal
Department. The Department advises the Chief Justice
for Administration and Management, and his staff, on
legal issues that arise in the course of performing their
duties. The staff of the Legal Department interacts regularly
with Judicial, Executive and Legislative Branch personnel
concerning legal and administrative matters.
