Mission

Share Legal Information of Common Interest

  • Through yearly bipartisan meetings and conferences, the AGA brings together U.S. state Attorneys General and their staff to cultivate knowledge, cooperate on concerns, and coordinate actions to improve the quality of legal services. The principal conference is the Annual Meeting, but includes a variety of other meetings during the year. AGA gatherings vary in focus, but always include important public policy discussions, like cybercrime, and involve state and federal officials, as necessary. AGA activities also include Alliance Partnerships international Rule of Law trainings in non-grant funded areas.

    Expenses $6,334,209 · Revenue $6,976,822

  • Alliance Partnership Mexico:The Alliance Partnership Mexico (AP Mexico) is funded by a federal grant from INL (the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs), part of the U.S. State Department. AP Mexico provides legal training to Mexican prosecutors, investigators, forensic experts, and analysts to improve their ability to work together to investigate and prosecute crime. The programs improve the efficiency, transparency, and accuracy of the Mexican justice system while protecting individual rights. AP Mexico works to foster lines of communication between U.S. and Mexican state Offices of the Attorney General at the line and leadership levels to improve cooperation in the fight against transnational crime. It also educates the Mexican law enforcement community and public on the nature of Mexico's adversarial oral trial system. Finally, it supports INLs goals of collaboration among other Rule of Law grantees to ensure consistency across training programs.

    Expenses $1,840,739 · Revenue $1,557,843

  • AGA has partnered with Pfizer to provide Rule of Law training programs in Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, South Africa, Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia and the Seychelles. We are constantly working to expand our network in Africa and around the globe. Programs include virtual meetings and events designed to build international law enforcement capabilities within these countries by bringing domestic experts who directly educate the investigators, lawyers and judges of these countries.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
