Recently there has been growing discussion concerning the appropriate role of state Attorneys General. Some argue that state AGs have overstepped their boundary by prosecuting cases and negotiating settlements that have had extraterritorial effects, and sometimes even national effects. Other people argue that AGs are simply filling a vacuum left by the failure of others (for example, federal agencies) to attend to these issues.

In light of this debate, the New York City Lawyers Chapter of the Federalist Society plans to host a panel discussion on the proper role of state AGs, with a particular emphasis on the student loan industry investigation spearheaded by Attorney General Cuomo.
