The Missouri Attorney General's Office functions as the state's primary legal counsel, representing most state agencies and providing legal guidance on a broad range of matters. It defends challenges to the validity of state laws and enforces civil law, including consumer protection and environmental statutes. The office represents the state's interests in civil actions such as bankruptcies, workers' compensation claims, professional licensing disputes, and habeas corpus proceedings filed by inmates. When appointed, it can serve as a special prosecutor in criminal cases and handles all statewide appeals from felony convictions. Based in Jefferson City, Missouri, it is part of the state's law practice landscape and employs a sizable professional staff. A recent development involves a partnership with the Delta Regional Authority to support statewide economic development projects.
