The Attorney General’s Honors Program offers a select group of attorneys with less than two years of post-J.D. experience the opportunity to gain high-level experience working on a variety of interesting and important matters in the Office of the Kansas Attorney General (OAG).
The Honors Program is a two-year assignment. Honors Attorneys are assigned to one of the OAG’s five legal divisions (Civil Division, Criminal Division, Public Protection Division, Office of the Solicitor General, or Special Litigation & Constitutional Issues Division), where they receive mentoring and work assignments from all sections or functional areas within that division, helping the attorney build a solid foundation in the full scope of the division’s responsibilities, as well as important skills that will serve him or her well as their career advances. A brief overview of each Division is available on the Attorney General’s website at https://ag.ks.gov/about-the-office/divisions.
Attorneys can expect to get significant in-court experience during this assignment. The OAG wants dynamic attorneys who are interested in helping Kansans insure the full enjoyment of their rights as American citizens. We want new attorneys who can carry on the Office’s reputation for integrity, efficiency, and professionalism. If you’re a bold-but-thoughtful attorney with concern for your fellow citizens, we want to talk to you.
If mutually agreeable, an Honors Attorney may be converted to an Assistant Attorney General or Assistant Solicitor General position following completion of the Honors Program, dependent upon the agency’s staffing needs. However, selectees need not commit to more than two years with the office.
