Charitable Trusts Deputy Attorney General

The California Department of Justice is hiring an experienced Charitable Trusts Deputy Attorney General.

Primary Duties And Responsibilities

Are you interested in protecting charitable assets for the People of California? Do you want to help stop charity fraud? Join a team of attorneys and auditors who do just that and much more.

In California, the Attorney General has the primary responsibility for regulating and supervising charitable organizations and trustees, and professional fundraisers. To carry out this responsibility, the Charitable Trusts Section investigates and prosecutes financial abuse, mismanagement, and fraudulent solicitation by charity directors, charitable trustees, and fundraisers in civil courts, and defends charitable gifts in probate courts. Section attorneys also appear before administrative courts to enforce registration and reporting requirements.

Typical duties of the Charitable Trusts Section’s Deputy Attorney General include:

• coordinating investigations and legal actions in California and with other state and federal agencies
• reviewing charity transactions, including asset sales and mergers

• responding to Public Records Act requests
• providing guidance to the Registry of Charities and Fundraisers
• responding to public inquiries regarding applicable law
• conducting and managing Registry compliance projects, including the administrative suspension and revocation of charity and fundraiser registration

Applicants must demonstrate good judgment and professionalism in all interactions with members of the public, opposing counsel, and the judiciary.

Working Conditions: This position may be eligible for telework.
