August forum: The Attorney General and Justice in Oregon–from Government Transparency to Internet Privacy (and everything in between)
with Ellen F. Rosenblum, Attorney General
As our Attorney General, Ellen Rosenblum runs the state Department of Justice with about 300 attorneys and 1,000 employees around the state, making it in essence the largest law firm in the state. The DOJ represents the state in litigations and appeals; its eight divisions include Child Support, Civil Enforcement, and Crime Victims’ Services.
The Attorney General is one of five statewide elected officeholders. Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum is the first female to hold the office in Oregon history. Three years into her first term, her talk will be a far ranging one--her personal path to the office, why it's important to know what our state's Department of Justice does and how the AG's commitment to transparency in government and protecting Oregon's most vulnerable is being carried out.
