Office of Legislative Counsel: House


Matthew Eric Glassman
Analyst on the Congress

The Office of the Legislative Counsel of the House of Representatives provides confidential, nonpartisan legislative drafting services to committees and Members of the House. The office’s legislative mandate is “the achievement of a clear, faithful, and coherent expression of legislative policies.” The Legislative Counsel, appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, is responsible for the management and administration of the office. The professional staff of the office currently includes a deputy legislative counsel, approximately 40 attorneys, and an administrative support staff. Services are provided to Members and committees “upon request,” giving priority to legislation with imminent conference, markup, or floor action.
