Attorney General’s Office: Conflicts of Interest

Contribution

Once the conflicts have been ascertained and a set of actions identified for each conflict, the Attorney General’s Office takes steps to ensure that the law officer is appropriately limited in their involvement on matters related to the relevant area of government policy or related litigation. The list is kept under review and amended—for example, when new government policies or litigation emerge. In situations where one law officer is conflicted, another law officer is asked to act in their place.
