General Counsel Opinions One of the most important functions of the League of Arizona Cities and Towns is the provision of legal advice on a wide variety of issues important to city and town attorneys, other municipal officials, and to the League itself. Since 1959, the League has retained the services of several attorneys that have served as General Counsel to the organization and, in that capacity, have issued a number of legal opinions about municipal matters. As state statutes change over time, some of those opinions may become obsolete or are updated with new opinions. What follows is a listing of the subject matters of opinions that are still relevant to cities and towns today. If there is an opinion that you would like to see for its applicability to your own municipal situation, please request a copy of that opinion by sending an email to: director@azleague.org. In your e-mail, please note the topic, title and date of the opinion so we can be sure to provide you with the correct document. If you have a specific question about the interpretation of one of these opinions in your municipality, please contact your city or town attorney.
