With about 750 employees, and nearly two-thirds of them attorneys, the Office of the Attorney General is considered the largest law firm in the state.
Only three men have held the position over the last 35 years. Voters will pick a new one this year, as Attorney General Doug Gansler runs for governor.
The office provides counsel to virtually all state agencies and all three branches of state government — legislative, executive and the judiciary. The attorney general is also charged with being the “people’s lawyer,” which includes enforcing consumer protection and civil rights laws.

They are road blocks and political pawns.. Not sure how bad it has been under Gansler, but under OweMalley's father in law, they were noting but political paws for the governor...
What's the big deal with the circuit judge election?They all are qualified but there are more signs than who's running for governor signs.
The Attoney General in Maryland is akin to what the Gesatapo was to Hitler.
Hint--- it wasn't anything to do with "protecting the people" or their rights.....
