Attorney General

The attorney general is head of the US Department of Justice and chief law officer of the federal government. He or she represents the United States in legal matters generally, and gives advice and opinions to the president and to other heads of executive departments as requested. In cases of exceptional gravity or special importance, the attorney general may appear in person before the US Supreme Court to represent the interests of the government.

As head of the Department of Justice, the attorney general is charged with enforcing Federal Laws, furnishing legal counsel in federal cases, construing the laws under which other executive departments act, supervising federal penal institutions, and investigating violations of federal laws. The attorney general also supervises and directs the activities of the US attorneys and US marshals in the various judicial districts. (US attorneys prosecute all offenses against the United States, and prosecute or defend, for the government, all civil actions, suits, or proceedings in which the United States is concerned; US marshals execute all lawful writs, processes, and orders issued under authority of the United States.)
