ACD 115: University General Counsel

To describe the function of university general counsel

Office of the President

University general counsel provides a full range of legal services, including advising, advocating, and litigating on behalf of ASU. Counsel reports directly to the president and is a member of the President’s Working Group.

Faculty members and academic professionals having concerns about legal matters that may affect the university should bring those concerns to their department chairs rather than to university general counsel. If department chairs are unable to resolve the difficulties, the chairs may contact the Office of General Counsel.
