Currently, the Office of the Corporation Counsel consists of the following divisions:

Appellate Division Child Support Enforcement Division Enforcement Division Family Services Division General Litigation Division

Government Operations Division Legal Counsel Division Management Division Mental Health Division Special Litigation Division

The Office of the Corporation Counsel is structured much like a private law firm, with sections devoted to legal specialties. Some 230 employees serve as legal assistants, secretaries, investigators, and other professional staff. The legal staff numbers approximately 200 lawyers and includes:

• Principal Deputy Corporation Counsel Senior Counsels
• Senior Deputy Corporation Counsels

By operation of a recently enacted law, attorneys in other District agencies were brought under the supervision and control of the Corporation Counsel. Currently, there are twelve agencies (other than the Office of the Corporation Counsel) subject to this new law, which affected approximately 60 attorneys. The agencies are:

Office of Banking and Financial Institutions Office of Cable Television and Telecommunications Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs Office of Contracting and Procurement Department of Employment Services
