New Attorney General needed

Recruitment is underway as the Government looks to appoint a new Attorney General.

The Cabinet Office is recruiting for the role after Stephen Harding retired in September on the grounds of ill-health following three years on suspension.

John Quinn is currently acting Attorney General.

The Attorney General acts as a legal advisor to the Government, is responsible for drafting Bills and represents the Crown in the prosecution of offences on Island. 

The Attorney General also has a seat on the Legislative Council with a vote on new legislation being passed.

The closing date is December 2nd.
