What is an attorney general opinion?
A formal opinion is the attorney general's written answer to a question of state law, usually asked by a state agency, a legislator or a local official. Each opinion states the question, the law the office relied on and its conclusion.
An attorney general opinion is the office's view of the law, not a court decision. Most offices publish their opinions by year and number, and many publish an index or a search by subject.
What other lists does the law library keep?
