Attorney General of Bermuda

Established in 1698, the Attorney-General's Chambers of Bermuda is the main legal advisor to the federal government and makes laws accessible to the public.  From 1698-1999, the Attorney-General was also the main prosecutor in all criminal matters that pertained to the Bermuda courts.  Attorneys-General are appointed by the Governor per the Constitution.  All were public officers until 1999 when Lois Browne-Evans was appointed as the island's first political Attorney-General through election.  Due to Bermuda's decision to have a political Attorney-General, the Director of Public Prosecutions now handles all criminal matters.  Even though there are now two distinct offices, the Attorney-General is also considered Bermuda's Minister of Legal Affairs.
