Assistant Attorneys General (“AAGs”) are required to prosecute criminal cases and litigate civil cases in Illinois State and Federal courts. Medicaid cases relate to fraud on the Medicaid system, the abuse and neglect of long-term care facility residents and the litigation of civil qui tam cases in state and federal court.

Applicants must be licensed in Illinois at the time of application. The position requires skill for presenting and arguing cases in court and/or administrative hearings. Candidates must maintain working relationships with court officials and client agencies.

Knowledge of the principles of civil and criminal law and of the methods and practices of pleading and discovery; knowledge of judicial procedures and rules of evidence is required with special emphasis on federal civil practice. Applicants must be licensed in Illinois at the time of application. Two or more years of civil and/or criminal practice experience is preferred. Ability to travel is a necessity. Duties are limited to “Medicaid” nexus cases.

Salary: Salaries are commensurate with number of years of practice as a licensed attorney and range from $ 82,000 to $ 107,550.
