The attorney general is the highest ranking law enforcement official in the country. Being as the justice department and not the attorney general himself, represents the government on cases he does not have to be a lawyer. Also there is no law saying he or she must be a lawyer. The United States Attorney's Office represents the government in litigation. The Solicitor General represents the government in matters before the United States Supreme Court only.
