Mission & GoalsONLY EDIT BELOW THIS LINE
The Mayor’s Office of Legal Counsel (“MOLC”) consists of a dedicated team of attorneys and support staff. In accordance with D.C.

Code § 1-608.51(a), the mission of the MOLC is to provide various legal services to the Mayor and District of Columbia agencies which are subordinate to the Mayor, particularly through work in conjunction with agency General Counsel and the supervisory and line attorneys working under them. |

Such petitions or appeals must be resolved and a final written decision must be issued to the person seeking production of the public records requested. |
