Report Provides Snapshot Of NC State Government Attorneys’ Activities
By Al Benshoff
Lawyers employed by the state of North Carolina should be aware of the new report to the Joint Legislative Program Evaluation Oversight Committee by the Program Evaluation Division, Legislative Services Office, General Assembly (called “PED” in this post). The report makes no recommendations about the use of lawyers in State government or staffing levels. It does provide the legislature with baseline information about the use of in-house counsel, outside counsel and the allocation of lawyers to departments. The report is called “The System of Attorney Allocation in North Carolina State Government is Decentralized Final Report to the Joint Legislative Program Evaluation Oversight Committee” and is available here.
