History
The Office of the Attorney General was established by High Queen Corrina in 1539 as the chief lawyer of the Crown. In 1735, the Attorney General was moved from the High Queen's Court to the Cabinet, which was, by this time, well on its way to becoming a Parliamentary Cabinet in the modern sense. However, the Attorney General was considered a lesser member of the Cabinet and not a minister coequal with the other ministers.
The Ministry for Justice, properly speaking, was not established until the Cabinet Act of 1938, which, among other reforms, created a Ministry for Justice, equal to the other Cabinet ministries, to be headed by a member of Parliament selected by the same procedures and on the same basis as the other Cabinet ministers. The Office of the Attorney General and several other government organizations pertaining to legal matters were all made departments of the ministry, under the authority of the minister and the permanent secretary.
