the position of attorney general existed since at least 1243, when records show a professional attorney was hired to represent the king's interests in court. the position first took on a political role in 1461 when the holder of the office was summoned to the house of lords to advise the government there on legal matters. in 1673 the attorney general officially became the crown's adviser and representative in legal matters, although still specialising in litigation rather than advice. the beginning of the twentieth century saw a shift away from litigation and more towards legal advice. today prosecutions are carried out by the crown prosecution service and most legal advice to government departments is provided by the government legal service, both under the supervision of the attorney general.
