The Crown Law Office (Crown Law) (Māori: Te Tari Ture o te Karauna) is the public service department of New Zealand charged with advising the government on legal affairs, representing the government in appellate cases, and overseeing the prosecution of criminal offences before the courts. The positions of Attorney-General and Solicitor-General were established in England in 1243 and 1461 respectively. The Solicitor General was a sub-ordinate office to the Attorney General. New Zealand has had its own Attorney-General since 1841. The position of Solicitor-General was not established until 1867 and was initially a political office as it currently is in England. In 1875, the office became a permanent government position. Walter S Reid was the first to hold the position. He remained in the position for the next 25 years. During this period the roles and responsibilities of the Attorney-General and the Solicitor-General were the subject of some debate and clarification by the Supreme Court. More information...
