In most common law jurisdictions, the attorney general or attorney-general is the main legal advisor to the government, and in some jurisdictions they may also have executive responsibility for law enforcement, prosecutions or even responsibility for legal affairs generally. In practice, the extent to which the attorney-general personally provides legal advice to the government varies between jurisdictions, and even between individual office-holders within the same jurisdiction, often depending on the level and nature of the office-holder's prior legal experience.
The term was originally used to refer to any person who holds a general power of attorney to represent a principal in all matters. In the common law tradition, anyone who represents the state, especially in criminal prosecutions, is such an attorney. Although a government may designate some official as the permanent attorney general, anyone who comes to represent the state in the same way may, in the past, be referred to as such, even if only for a particular case. Today, however, in most jurisdictions the term is largely reserved as a title of the permanently appointed attorney general of the state, sovereign or other member of the royal family. The term is pluralized attorneys general or attorneys-general.
Minister of Justice and Attorney General (Manitoba)
The Minister of Justice and Attorney General is a cabinet minister in the government of Manitoba. Before 1990, the minister who held this position was simply designated as Attorney-General. The minister who holds this office is also designated as Keeper of the Great Seal of Manitoba.
The current Minister of Justice and Attorney General is Gord Mackintosh.
The Attorney General of Mexico (Spanish:Procurador General de la República) (English:Attorney General of the Republic) is the head of the Office of the General Prosecutor (Procuraduría General de la República, PGR) and the Federal Public Ministry (Ministerio Público de la Federación), an institution belonging to the Federal Government'sexecutive branch that is responsible for the investigation and prosecution of federal crimes. The office is governed mainly by the Constitution of Mexico and the Organic Law of the Attorney General's Office (Ley Orgánica de la Procuraduría General de la República). The Attorney General is a member of the President's Cabinet.
The Attorney General's Office is organized into several subordinate entities, including five Under-Attorney General Offices (Legal and International Affairs, Regional Control and Criminal Procedures, Specialized in Organized Crime, Specialized in Federal Crimes, Human Rights and Community Services, Prosecutor Offices such as the Specialized in Electoral Crimes, the Federal Investigations Agency, and the National Center for Planning, Analysis and Information for Combating Crime (Centro Nacional de Planeación, Análisis e Información para el Combate a la Delincuencia, CENAPI).
This cabinet position is usually reserved for someone holding a legal qualification. There have been exceptions: Joe Clark only studied the first year of law at University of British Columbia Faculty of Law before embarking on political life.

Dan Bishop concedes to Jeff Jackson in North Carolina Attorney General's Race
Democrat Jeff Jackson will be the state’s next attorney general, holding off Republican Dan Bishop in a tight race between sitting members of the U.S. House that attracted tens of millions in spending. Bishop called Jackson to concede the race just after 11 a.m. The two were running to replace Attorney General Josh Stein, who won the race for governor on Tuesday. Jackson, 42, currently represents a Charlotte-area district in the U.S. House of Representatives as does Bishop.
Jackson ran “as basically a normal person,” as he said in one ad, seeking to paint Bishop as an extremist who should not be trusted in the role of attorney general. Bishop is best known as the lead author of the 2016 law colloquially known as HB2 that banned cities from enacting pro-transgender local ordinances and led...

Democrat Jeff Jackson will be the state’s next attorney general, holding off Republican Dan Bishop in a tight race between sitting members of the U.S. House that attracted tens of millions in spending. Bishop called Jackson to concede the race just after 11 a.m. The two were running to replace Attorney General Josh Stein, who won the race for governor on Tuesday. Jackson, 42, currently represents a Charlotte-area district in the U.S. House of Representatives as does Bishop.
Jackson ran “as basically a normal person,” as he said in one ad, seeking to paint Bishop as an extremist who should not be trusted in the role of attorney general. Bishop is best known as the lead author of the 2016 law colloquially known as HB2 that banned cities from enacting pro-transgender local ordinances and led to a national boycott of North Carolina.
A WRAL News Poll from late October found Jackson held a small lead over Bishop, but also showed that nearly one in eight North Carolinians had not made up their mind on the race.
Stein has campaigned this year by pointing to his record as attorney general, including using the office to target pharmaceutical companies over the opioid epidemic, big tech companies over antitrust violations and vaping company JUUL over marketing to children.
Consumer protection actions such as those are a large part of the office’s duties, and the attorney general has wide latitude in choosing which companies to target — or not — for alleged violations.
The office also manages the state crime lab, which analyzes drugs, DNA, ballistics and other evidence. It also handles all appeals in criminal cases.
And the office has the ability to engage in political lawsuits.

Democrat Jeff Jackson will be the state’s next attorney general, holding off Republican Dan Bishop in a tight race between sitting members of the U.S. House that attracted tens of millions in spending. Bishop called Jackson to concede the race just after 11 a.m. The two were running to replace Attorney General Josh Stein, who won the race for governor on Tuesday. Jackson, 42, currently represents a Charlotte-area district in the U.S. House of Representatives as does Bishop.
Jackson ran “as basically a normal person,” as he said in one ad, seeking to paint Bishop as an extremist who should not be trusted in the role of attorney general. Bishop is best known as the lead author of the 2016 law colloquially known as HB2 that banned cities from enacting pro-transgender local ordinances and led to a national boycott of North Carolina.
A WRAL News Poll from late October found Jackson held a small lead over Bishop, but also showed that nearly one in eight North Carolinians had not made up their mind on the race.
Stein has campaigned this year by pointing to his record as attorney general, including using the office to target pharmaceutical companies over the opioid epidemic, big tech companies over antitrust violations and vaping company JUUL over marketing to children.
Consumer protection actions such as those are a large part of the office’s duties, and the attorney general has wide latitude in choosing which companies to target — or not — for alleged violations.
The office also manages the state crime lab, which analyzes drugs, DNA, ballistics and other evidence. It also handles all appeals in criminal cases.
And the office has the ability to engage in political lawsuits.

In most common law jurisdictions, the attorney general or attorney-general is the main legal advisor to the government, and in some jurisdictions they may also have executive responsibility for law enforcement, prosecutions or even responsibility for legal affairs generally. In practice, the extent to which the attorney-general personally provides legal advice to the government varies between jurisdictions, and even between individual office-holders within the same jurisdiction, often depending on the level and nature of the office-holder's prior legal experience.
The term was originally used to refer to any person who holds a general power of attorney to represent a principal in all matters. In the common law tradition, anyone who represents the state, especially in criminal prosecutions, is such an attorney. Although a government may designate some official as the permanent attorney general, anyone who comes to represent the state in the same way may, in the past, be referred to as such, even if only for a particular case. Today, however, in most jurisdictions the term is largely reserved as a title of the permanently appointed attorney general of the state, sovereign or other member of the royal family. The term is pluralized attorneys general or attorneys-general.
