About the Office

The Nebraska Department of Justice/Office of the Attorney General operates, in many respects, as the "State's law firm".

Attorney General's Youth Advisory Council

The Attorney General's Youth Advisory Council (AGYAC)is a group comprised of high school juniors and seniors from across the state, and is designed to involve Nebraska students in the processes of government and law. Students are selected to serve during their junior and senior years in high school. As a member of the Attorney General's Youth Advisory Council, students are encouraged to share an open dialogue with General Bruning and contact him to discuss their opinions and ideas on events and matters within the state and their local communities.

Each year, AGYAC members will be invited to attend a conference in Lincoln where they will have the opportunity to meet with the Attorney General to discuss issues involving the law and state government. Additionally, during the conference, the students participate in a full-day of activities designed to expose them to several aspects of the legal system.

Members of the council are nominated by state senators and educators from their area.
