BATON ROUGE - Gov. Bobby Jindal is switching up his top legal adviser.

Jindal announced late Monday that Executive Counsel Liz Murrill is leaving the governor's office and going to the Division of Administration.

No word was given for why Murrill was leaving. The governor's office did not immediately respond to questions about the staff reshuffling or provide an explanation for the abrupt move.

Murrill's move to the Division of Administration comes as her role had gained attention because of advice she has given LSU on shielding documents from the public.

Jindal's new executive counsel will be Gary Graphia, who starts the job Tuesday, according to the governor's office.

Graphia most recently served as executive vice president for The Shaw Group Inc. where he oversaw corporate development, mergers and acquisitions and client relations.
