The National State Attorneys General Program at Columbia Law School is a legal research, education-and-policy center that examines the implications of the jurisprudence of state attorneys general. Working closely with attorneys general, academics and other members of the legal community, the Program is active in the development and dissemination of legal information that state prosecutors are able to use in the carrying out of their civil and criminal responsibilities.

Program Counsel and Lecturer-in-Law Julie Brill Confirmed to Federal Trade Commission (March 4, 2010)
Julie Brill's nomination to the Federal Trade Commission has been confirmed by the U.S. Senate. She was first nominated by President Obama in November of 2009. In addition to advising the National State Attorneys General Program and co-teaching a course on the role of state attorneys general, Commissioner Brill has worked as Assistant Attorney General for Consumer Protection and Antitrust in Vermont and as Senior Deputy Attorney General and Chief of Consumer Protection and Antitrust for the North Carolina Department of Justice.
"Julie Brill will help revitalize an FTC that has languished while consumers’ interests have given way to special interests," commented Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy, who introduced Commissioner Brill at her confirmation hearing.
