The Department of Legal Affairs did not meet the majority of its performance-based program budgeting standards, and the measures generally do not assess agency effectiveness.
The department wins most of its court cases, but settlement agreements are not always monetarily favorable to the state.
Judges and state agencies express general satisfaction with attorney work, but agencies complain about a lack of responsiveness.
Department accountability is limited by the Office of the Inspector General's lack of oversight and by inadequate department billing practices.
