The San Francisco City Attorney's office has been regarded as a national model for public law offices, bringing landmark cases to protect and expand the rights of San Franciscans while providing high quality legal counsel to about 100 city departments, boards and commissions. On November 1, 2021, David Chiu was sworn in as San Francisco City Attorney and became the first Asian American to lead the office.

Our Office sued the U.S. Department of Energy over their new terms and conditions for grant funding. Their new conditions force grant recipients, like San Francisco, to implement the Federal Administration’s anti-equity policy preferences or lose access to all DOE grants, including funding that combats climate change.

The City of San Francisco on Friday filed a lawsuit against the Department of Energy over changes to emissions standards, which could cost the city over $130,000 in federal funding for clean energy.

Our Office joined an amicus brief in Louisiana v. FDA to defend access to medication abortion and protect the ability of communities to make decisions about reproductive health care access.

The Louisiana lawsuit, which seeks to block telehealth prescribing and mailing of the abortion pill mifepristone, has major implications for abortion access nationwide.
