New AG Corner

Besides highlighting the new attorneys general as they take office, the New AG Corner will contain important training materials and other resources that will educate new AG's and their key deputies on affirmative legal issues that all AG's address, such as antitrust, consumer protection, immigration, employment, criminal justice, predatory lending, and developing working relationships with civil society.
