Meet with DOH Attorneys Larry Mercer and Adelina Acuna, ’12 and learn about the Attorney General’s Honors Program and other DOJ job opportunities.
Deputy Attorney General Adelina Acuña graduated from Stanford in 2006 and SLS in 2012, and went straight into the California Attorney General’s Office as a member of the AG’s inaugural Honors Program class. For her first three years, she worked in the False Claims Unit of the Corporate Fraud Section, where she was a member of the Attorney General’s Mortgage-Backed Securities Team and helped recover over a billion dollars for California’s state employee and teacher pension funds. In January 2016, she transferred to the Consumer Law Section, where she focuses on deceptive and fraudulent business practices related to consumer debt and women’s health. Outside of work she is the Chair of the Bay Area Lawyer Chapter of the American Constitution Society and a practitioner-advisor for Berkeley Law School’s Appellate Advocacy writing program.
While a student at SLS, Adelina summered with the California AG’s Consumer Law Section and the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, and completed two quarters each with the YELP and International Human Rights & Conflict Resolution Clinics. She also served as Co-President of the Stanford ACS student chapter and a 2011-2012 Levin Center Public Interest Fellow.
Deputy Attorney General Larry Mercer attended Hastings College of Law and was admitted to the Bar in 1983.

In his position as an HQE DAG he represents the Medical Board of California and allied health agencies in administrative, civil and appellate matters prosecuted for the protection of California consumers.
