The Legal Affairs office functions as the legal counsel or adviser to the Governor in his official capacity. The legal office personnel serve as liaison in other areas of the state, i.e., the Notary Section works to educate notaries public around the state with the law affecting them and the changes that occur in the law; the Victims’ Rights Coordinator reviews law enforcement and agency policies pertaining to victims’ rights and issues an annual report detailing each agency’s compliance.
