The National State Attorneys General Program at Columbia Law School [1] provides a research-and-policy think tank and education center for the development and dissemination of law-based approaches that state attorneys general can use to advance and protect the public interest. Since its inauguration on March 1, 2004, the Program's symposia, sponsored research and publications have provided a forum and resources to state attorneys general, academics and others about issues of significance to the work of state attorneys general. It is a cornerstone of Columbia's commitment to educating and developing its students and others to be innovators and leaders in government service. Past conferences have focused on the role of state attorneys general in national environmental policy, state attorney general oversight and regulation of charitable organizations, pharmaceutical policy, and consumer & antitrust leadership.

The National State Attorneys General Program is directed by James Tierney (a Lecturer-in-law at Columbia Law School and former Attorney General of Maine), and Deputy Director Tam Ormiston [3] (a current Deputy Attorney General of Iowa). The Program is located under the broader auspices of Columbia Law School’s Social Justice Initiatives, and its Dean, Ellen Chapnick.
