• For more than four decades, the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division has been producing the popular Consumer Law Guide, providing detailed answers to the most frequently asked consumer questions. Originally published as a book, they long retained their chapter format, which is replicated here.

The Consumer Protection Division enforces state antitrust and consumer protection laws, including the mini-Sherman Act, the state merger statute and the Unfair Trade Practices Act. The Division also implements the Attorney General’s authority to oversee charities and is responsible for the investigation and prosecution of the unauthorized practice of law, and tobacco enforcement.
