The Education Division provides legal counsel to Utah’s public education and higher education systems, including the State Board of Regents and the state’s colleges and universities. Under its guidance, institutions receive comprehensive legal support tailored to the needs of each campus, with an emphasis on preventative law, compliance with state and federal requirements, and effective risk management.

From reviewing legislation and regulations to defending institutions in internal proceedings—such as student conduct matters, employee discipline, and tenure appeals—the division ensures that Utah’s educational institutions can fulfill their missions within a strong legal framework. Through thoughtful counsel and skilled advocacy, the Education Division supports stable governance, institutional integrity, and accountability across Utah’s education system.
