Annual reports for the Law Department and
City Attorney's Office. English .
The Law Department represents the City in all legal matters and
litigation, provides legal advice and opinions to City departments and
agencies, and is responsible for prosecuting violations of City ordinances in
Municipal Court. The position of City Attorney was established in 1875. The
1890 City Charter created the Law Department headed by the Corporation Counsel.
The title was changed to City Attorney in 1977.
Annual reports for the Law Department and in later years, the City
Attorney's Office. Reports include a review of the year's activities and
highlights of cases.
Records are open to the public.
A Comptroller or Clerk File (CF) can consist of correspondence, reports,
petitions, contracts, agreements, etc. from elected officials, City
departments, other government agencies, or the general public, which have been
placed "on file" with the Office of the City Clerk (OCC). They are primarily
permanent records, but also include routine material which was periodically
purged. Certain archival records identified in the CF have been removed,
arranged into records series, and incorporated into the collection of the
Seattle Municipal Archives, a program of the OCC.
