N.D. Cent. Code § 15.1-10-04: State's attorney to represent committee

Each county's state's attorney shall serve as legal counsel to the county committee. The state's attorney shall defend the committee and any of its officers in legal proceedings relating to the conduct or business of the committee. If providing this defense would cause a conflict with the other duties of the state's attorney, the board of county commissioners, at county expense, shall employ a special counsel to represent the committee in the proceedings.
