Office Of General Counsel

Welcome

The Office of General Counsel (OGC) is led by General Counsel, the university's chief legal officer and legal advisor to the President, President’s Cabinet, and university administrators on matters of official university business.

The OGC is organized like a small law firm with attorneys who provide legal advice and representation to the university, administrators, and employees on matters arising out of their official University responsibilities. Each university attorney is both a generalist capable of handling a wide variety of legal matters and a specialist with competence in a particular area of expertise. OGC attorneys and paralegals work together as a team, consulting with colleagues in office and with outside counsel as appropriate.
