Annual Report of
Private Attorney Contracts

Fiscal Year 2015

 The Oldahoma Office of the Attorney General is required by Title 74, Section 20i(G) of Oklahoma
Statutes to produce a written report on the private legal representation obtained by an agency or
official of the executive branch under Section 20i, This report is to include a brief description of
each contract, the circumstances necessitating each contract, and the amount paid under each
contract.
During Attorney General Pruitt's terms of office, spending on private attorney contracts has
decreased from $11.78 million in Fiscal Year 2011, to $6.8 million in Fiscal Year 2015. The decrease
in spending on private attorneys is nearly $5 million.
To drive down the cost to the state, the Office of the Attorney General has increased its
representation of the State, and its agencies, boards, colleges and universities. In Fiscal Year 2011,
the Office of the Attorney General maintained contracts with approximately 49 state entities for
representation, and under Attorney General Pruitt's leadership, that number has increased to
approximately 72 state entities for Fiscal Year 2015.

Total Spent on Private Attorneys
Fiscal Year 2015: $ 6.8 million
Fiscal Year 2011: $ 11.78 million
While changes in the law and economy may impact the amount spent on private attorneys, Attorney
General Pruitt is committed to assisting the State, and its agencies, boards, colleges and universities
in lowering their costs of using private attorneys. By continuing to utilize the expertise available
within the Office of the Attorney General, Attorney General Pruitt is able to provide more services
to the State.
