The Rhode Island Office of the Attorney General is seeking an attorney with significant health care experience to help further the work of the Office’s Health Care Unit.
About the Office of the Attorney General: The Attorney General is the state’s top lawyer and law enforcement official, protecting and serving the people and interests of Rhode Island through a broad range of duties. Every day, the Office’s attorneys fight to ensure the public safety of the state’s communities, improve the economic security of its citizens, safeguard the state’s spectacular natural resources, and restore the public’s trust in government. Assistant and Special Assistant Attorneys General represent the people of Rhode Island in civil and criminal matters before trial courts, appellate courts, and the supreme courts of Rhode Island and the United States. The Office is unique among attorneys general offices across the country. Out of fifty states, only two other offices share the same broad criminal mission. In addition to other Attorney General functions, the Office’s attorneys prosecute complex and violent crimes but also functionally serve as one of the nation’s largest district attorney’s offices, prosecuting all felonies throughout the state.
The Civil Division leads affirmative and defensive litigation on behalf of the state, counsels the Attorney General and other government officials, and performs a range of regulatory duties.
The Public Protection Bureau within the Civil Division is comprised of four units – Health Care, Consumer and Economic Justice, Environmental and Energy, and Civil Rights.
Health Care Unit: The mission of the Health Care Unit within the Civil Division’s Public Protection Bureau is to contribute to improving individual and community health through a lens which recognizes the importance of the social determinants of health, our role as lawyers in ensuring equitable access to care, and the importance of maintaining an efficient marketplace among payors, providers, and people who require care. The Unit accomplishes its mission through targeted enforcement litigation, community outreach, and regulatory action. The Unit combines the authority vested in the Attorney General with powers under the Health Care Advocate and Insurance Advocate statutes.
