While the federal government often grabs the headlines, the real regulatory "teeth" in America belongs to the State Attorneys General.

This year, with 31 AG seats on the ballot, we are facing a historic level of leadership change—one that will decide who holds the subpoena power to halt global mergers, sue federal agencies, and dictate how corporations operate within state lines.

In this episode of A Matter of Law, Karl Racine, former DC Attorney General, and Jason Downs, former Chief Deputy AG, who together co-head Hogan Lovells’ State Attorney's General Practice, sit down with the man who literally wrote the curriculum on the AG office: Professor James Tierney.
