Katherine Green Robertson

Katherine Robertson serves as Chief Counsel to Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, a position she has held for nearly a decade.

Robertson holds a B.S. in political science from Auburn University and a J.D. from the University of Alabama School of Law. She began her career at the U.S. Department and later served U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions as legislative counsel on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Upon returning to Alabama, she served as Vice President of the Alabama Policy Institute—a think tank founded to promote free markets, limited government, and strong families.

Since assuming the role of Chief Counsel in 2017, Robertson has played a significant role in crafting and executing Attorney General Marshall’s agenda related to criminal justice, religious liberty, protecting women and girls, free speech, and the sanctity of life. Over the years, Robertson has led her office with a mandate to make her state safer and her country freer and has done so with a relentless pursuit of state sovereignty and a revival of federalism. She has proudly been a part of the Federalist Society community since law school.

Beyond the Attorney General’s Office, Robertson serves on the board of Cornerstone Schools of Alabama, a private Christian school serving students in inner-city Birmingham, and on the board of Oak Hill Classical Academy. She was appointed by Governor Kay Ivey to the Alabama Fair Ballot Commission and the Alabama Women’s Commission, and serves on the board of directors for Alabama’s only crime-victims advocacy nonprofit, VOCAL. Katherine and her husband, Ryan, reside in Birmingham and have two young children.
