Deputy Attorney General Iv

Position: DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL IV
Job Description and Duties

The California Department of Justice (DOJ) is responsible for protecting and serving the People and interests of California. Among other things, we represent the People of California in civil and criminal matters before trial courts, intermediate appellate courts, and Supreme Courts of California and the United States, and serve as legal counsel to state officers, and most state agencies. The DOJ's Healthcare Rights and Access Section (HRA) serves as the lead in affirmative healthcare matters, representing the Attorney General in his independent capacity and coordinating healthcare work within the Department.

The Section has comprehensive authority to work on any matters, including investigations, litigation, and legislation, that will increase and protect the accessibility, affordability, and quality of healthcare for California residents. HRA's core mission includes consumer protection and fraud, civil rights and equity, reproductive justice, unfair competition, and privacy.

The Attorney General is committed to protecting access to healthcare for all Californians regardless race, color, national origin, gender, disability, age, or LGBTQ status. The unit represents the Attorney General in his independent capacity as California's chief law officer to protect California residents, including women, LGBTQ individuals, and other marginalized populations. HRA protects California residents by engaging in affirmative litigation and filing amicus curiae briefs in cases in which significant healthcare civil rights issues will be resolved.

Highlighting the importance of these functions are developments at the federal level, which can adversely impact California's healthcare interests. This position will focus on health facility reviews under Corporations Code section 5914 et seq., including litigation to enforce Attorney General Conditions issued pursuant to these provisions.

The Deputy Attorneys General (DAGs) work often in teams that handle this proactive healthcare work in the Attorney General's Office, including difficult and complex legal work related to investigations, trials, writs, and appeals on healthcare matters, which require the highest level of independent judgment. They may also coordinate and facilitate communications with other state Attorney General's Offices and other federal and state government agencies working on similar issues.

DAGs work under the direction of the Supervising Deputy Attorney General, the Senior Assistant Attorney General, the Chief Assistant Attorney General of the Public Rights Division, the Chief Deputy to the Attorney General, and the Attorney General.
