The Department of Justice shall assume legal representation in all legal actions by and against any municipality when the complexity and nature of the action and the budgetary situation do not allow the municipality to contract the needed professional legal services.
Municipalities may enter into agreements with each other to jointly contract professional legal services for purposes of consultation and to handle any legal claim initiated by or against them. Such an agreement shall provide for the prorating of expenses and each municipality may make the corresponding payments as if it were its exclusive undertaking or action.
