Best Answer

The Judiciary Act of 1789 established the role of the Attorney General. The AG's duty was to advise the President and Congress on legal matters. Over time, this department grew, eventually becoming the Department of Justice. Currently (2011) Eric Holder is the AG. As a member of the President's cabinet, appointed by him, the AG still gives the President legal advice, though if he needed more specific advice, he may choose to speak to a member of an agency within the DOJ.
