Attorney General of Georgeland

The Attorney General of Georgeland is the chief legal officer in the Georgeland government and the minister in charge of the Department of Justice, which overseas law enforcement and legal bodies. The position of Attorney General is among the oldest in Georgeland; the first Attorney General was appointed by Prime Minister Robert Pearce as part of the first Cabinet in 1891. The position is usually held by an accomplished lawyer; however, in recent times it has become more common for the position to be a political appointment. The Attorney General provides legal advice to Cabinet and, more rarely, to the President of Georgeland. The Attorney General is not to be confused with the Solicitor General of Georgeland; the Attorney General is a political position, while the Solicitor General is a civil servant responsible for providing legal opinions and legal advice to the Justice Department. Like all other members of the Cabinet, the Attorney General is always a member of either chamber of the Georgeland Parliament. The Attorney General is considered to be one of the more powerful Cabinet posts but usually has one of the lowest profiles of any member of the government. The Attorney General sits on the National Security Council. Each of Georgeland's states has its own Attorney General, who performs a similar function at a state level.
