第15解

Attorney General

【英文】The Attorney General advises the government on the points of law and represents the Crown in court.He must be a practicing barrister and a member of Parliament who supports the government party.The Prime Minister appoints him.

【譯文】總檢察長為政府提供法律方面的建議，并且在法庭上代表國王。他必須是一名執業巴律師，而且是支持執政黨的議員。總檢察長由首相任命。

【解釋】在英國，Attorney General意為“總檢察長”。“副檢察長”為Solicitor General。

再如：

The Solicitor General is the deputy of the Attorney General.Like the Attorney General he must be a practicing barrister and a member of Parliament supporting the government party.He is appointed by the Prime Minister.The Attorney General and the Solicitor General are called the “law officers”.〔譯文：副總檢察長是總檢察長的副手。同檢察長一樣，他必須是一名執業巴律師，而且是支持執政黨的議員，由首相任命。總檢察長和副總檢察長稱為“司法官員”。〕
