Podcast: A Conversation with Our State AG Team About the Role of a Governor's Counsel

In this episode of our Public Policy & Regulation Group's "Conversations with State Attorneys General" podcast series, host Stephen Cobb is joined by his fellow State Attorneys General Practice co-leader Jim Schultz, constitutional and public law attorney Chris Riano and public policy attorney Robert Highsmith. Their discussion highlights the important role that governor's counsel play in both policy formulation and regulatory enforcement across the United States. Mr. Schultz, Mr. Riano and Mr. Highsmith each bring a unique perspective to the conversation having served as counsel to the governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, New York and Georgia respectively. Each attorney spends time describing their experience working in the office of the governor, articulating the how the role differs among states. They also discuss the interplay between the governor's office and the attorney general's office, as well as what policy trends we should expect in the pipeline.
