Assistant Attorney General-DHHR The Office of the West Virginia Attorney General is seeking an attorney to represent the DHHR in juvenile abuse and neglect matters before the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals.

This division is also highly collaborative; with attorneys editing each other’s work and assisting with case strategy and argument preparation. The position is located in Charleston, WV; however, other locations in the state will be considered if it is feasible. Prior abuse and neglect and/or appellate litigation practice is preferred. Candidates must have an active WV license or be eligible for admission.
