OCR Attorney Advisors are critical to the Department of Justice's efforts to ensure that recipients of Federal financial assistance from the DOJ are complying with federal laws prohibiting discrimination in employment and the delivery of services. OCR is the external civil rights office not only for the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), but also for the DOJ's Office of Violence Against Women (OVW) and Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office).

The office receives complaints from the public, which Attorney Advisors evaluate and, where appropriate, investigate and resolve. Attorney Advisors engage in large-scale compliance reviews of DOJ grantees, which include law enforcement, departments of corrections, programs supporting victims of crime, and other justice entities. Attorney Advisors also provide training and technical assistance both within the DOJ's grant programs and to its grantee community. Attorney Advisors do this work both individually and in small teams and report to a Deputy Director.
