Job Summary
The Office of Attorney General Keith Ellison has a clear mission: we help Minnesotans afford their lives and live with dignity, safety, and respect. We are a dynamic group of dedicated professionals who choose public service as a calling, and we are actively and intentionally committed to supporting an internal culture that affirms that calling. The Office is one of Minnesota’s largest public law offices and as of 2023, has been recognized as a Star Tribune Top Workplace Minnesota for three years in a row and Top Workplace USA for two years in a row.
The Office is seeking a highly capable individual with the skills and drive to work on behalf of the public in improving the quality of healthcare and education for all Minnesotans by providing legal representation to the State’s health-related licensing boards and the Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board (“PELSB”) in their resolution of complaints alleging misconduct by healthcare providers and educators. The Office’s Health and Teacher Licensing Division represents Minnesota’s 16 health-related licensing boards and PELSB in litigation and administrative actions related to the boards’ licensure and regulatory oversight of healthcare providers and educators. Key functions of this position include providing legal representation to the boards at meetings and disciplinary conferences, in contested cases at the Office of Administrative Hearings, and in matters in district and appellate courts.
Attorneys are responsible for all phases of administrative actions and civil litigation, including coordinating investigations, preparing and filing pleadings and briefs, appearing at hearings, engaging in negotiations and settlement conferences, trying cases at the Office of Administrative Hearings and in district court, and handling appeals. Complaints against licensees may involve allegations of substandard practice, unprofessional or unethical conduct, fraudulent or abusive billing, improper prescribing of controlled substances, sexual misconduct, and violation of professional boundaries. This is an exciting opportunity to join a highly committed team that makes a difference in the lives of Minnesotans.
