Samuel Scott Olens (born July 8, 1957) is an attorney with the global law firm Dentons, and the former Attorney General of Georgia.
Olens was elected Georgia AG in 2010, resigning on November 1, 2016 (two years prior to the end of his term) following his appointment as President of Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw, Georgia (a suburb of Atlanta).
He subsequently resigned as KSU's president on February 15, 2018 - a decision he'd announced in December 2017 - due to controversy over his handling of issues that included a protest by football cheerleaders who knelt during the national anthem.Prior to his election as Attorney General, Olens served as chairman of the Cobb County, Georgia Commission from 1998 through 2010.
He defeated former District Attorney Ken Hodges in the 2010 state elections for Attorney General, becoming the first person of the Jewish faith to win a statewide, partisan race in Georgia.
Following Olens' resignation announcement, Christopher M.
Carr was appointed as his successor by Governor Nathan Deal.
