Office of the Attorney General

<div><p><b>Description</b></p><p>
The Attorney General is the chief legal officer of the State of Maryland. The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) has the general charge, supervision, and direction of the State's legal business, acting as legal advisors and representatives of the major agencies, various boards, commissions, officials, and institutions of State Government. The OAG also protects the public by civil enforcement of antitrust, civil rights, consumer protection, and securities laws and regulations and by the prosecution of organized crime, Medicaid fraud, environmental crimes, insurance fraud, state tax evasion, and other statutorily assigned matters. As Maryland's 47th Attorney General, Anthony G. Brown leads the Office with a critical focus on equity, justice, and fairness
</p><p>The OAG is seeking applicants for an Assistant Attorney General to represent the Somerset County Department of Social Services (SCDSS). DHS is Maryland's primary social services agency, serving more than one million residents annually through its 24 local departments. DHS sets statewide policy, provides oversight, and supports local offices such as SCDSS, which delivers critical services including child welfare, adult protective services, and assistance for vulnerable individuals.
</p><p>This position represents SCDSS in the circuit court in child welfare proceedings, including Child in Need of Assistance (CINA), Termination of Parental Rights (TPR), and Adult Guardianship cases. The position also occasionally represents SCDSS before the Office of Administrative Hearings in child abuse, neglect, and other hearings. Additionally, the position provides general agency advice and counsel to SCDSS in child welfare and adult services matters as well as responding to subpoena and records requests. The position coordinates with community partners such as judges and magistrates from Circuit Court, clerk's office and law enforcement personnel, and other interested stakeholders to ensure that child welfare and adult guardianship cases are litigated in a timely fashion as required by state and federal law. The core purpose of this role is to handle high-stakes, fast-paced court proceedings that protect vulnerable children and adults from abuse and neglect. If you are an experienced attorney seeking a mission-driven career where your advocacy directly safeguards children, preserves families, and supports your local community, apply today.</p><p>
As part of a statewide OAG team representing local social services departments, this position works in close coordination with a Regional Supervisor and a state-level support team. While you will operate with a high degree of autonomy as the sole attorney managing the local county office, you will remain fully connected to the agency's broader resources. You are backed by a network of Maryland child welfare legal practitioners and assisted directly by a newly allocated paralegal position shared between Dorchester and Somerset counties.</p><p>
