United States Department of Justice Civil Division
Led by the United States Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division, the Division's litigation reflects the diversity of government activities, involving, for example, the defense of challenges to presidential actions; national security issues; benefit programs; energy policies; commercial issues such as contract disputes, banking insurance, patents, fraud, and debt collection; all manner of accident and liability claims; enforcement of immigration laws; and civil and criminal violations of consumer protection laws.Each year, Division attorneys handle thousands of cases that collectively involve billions of dollars in claims and recoveries.The Division confronts significant policy issues, which often rise to constitutional dimensions, in defending and enforcing various Federal programs and actions.In April 2021, President Joe Biden nominated Javier Guzman to lead the division as Assistant Attorney General.This article relating to law in the United States or its constituent jurisdictions is a stub.
