InfoWilliam H. Ryan Jr., the First Deputy Attorney General, serves as the number two position in the Office of Attorney General. A career prosecutor, Ryan oversees all legal and administrative matters for the Office of Attorney General. As First Deputy he also serves as the principal advisor to Attorney General Corbett on all major issues.

As First Deputy, Ryan continues in the job that he had held under Attorney General Jerry Pappert.
