新南威爾士州法律政策專員是澳洲新南威爾士州的官方律政專員之一，也是新南威爾士州律政司的副手。其可在律政司空缺的情況下行使律政司的職權。法律政策專員與刑事法律專員（Crown Advocate）、（Director of Public Prosecutions）及（Crown Solicitor）一同合作，並擔任州官方及州政府的法律及憲法顧問之一。 法律政策專員在法庭上被稱為「法律政策專員先生」（Mr Solicitor）或「法律政策專員女士」（Ms Solicitor）。儘管該職銜直譯為「總事務律師」，該職位通常是由大律師（barrister）擔任，且自 1925 年以來一直由御用大律師（Queens Counsel 或 Kings Counsel）或資深大律師（Senior Counsel）擔任。以前法律政策專員如律政司一樣是政治委任，但它自 1922 年以來與議會分離，自 1969 年以來，法律政策專員一直為與司法廳有聯絡的法定職位。 歷史及職能 法律政策專員根據《1969 年法律政策專員法令》（Solicitor General Act 1969）的規定運作。該法令第 2 條規定，法律政策專員須為「具有至少 7 年資歷的澳洲律師」，並且不得為廳長級官員。退休年齡定為 72 歲。 Appointment of Solicitor General 法律政策專員在澳洲高等法院及其他法院擔任官方法律顧問，並就民事及刑事事宜（包括憲 制 法事宜）向律政司提供建議。直到 1987 年，法律政策專員有權在新南威爾士州的刑事上訴法院對刑事訟案提起上訴，然而這後來成為刑事檢控專員（Director of Public Prosecutions）的職責。 約翰賓吉（John Plunkett）是第一位被冊封為為御用大律師的新南威爾士州大律師，他於 1856 年 6 月 6 日由律政司職位退休。第一位被委任為法律政策專員時已是御用大律師的人為 John Hargrave。Cecil Weigall 於 1922 年被委任為法律政策專員，並於 1925 年被冊封為御用大律師。Harold Snelling 在被委任時是御用大律師。自從 1969 年法律政策專員職位轉變為法定職位後，只有身為御用大律師的人選才能被委任為法律政策專員。 s 21993 年，新南威爾士州停止冊封御用大律師，這一要求隨之被取消。 Schedule 1 abolition of Queens Counsel and Schedule 5 amendment of the Solicitor General Act 1969 歷任法律政策專員 法律政策專員（18241922） Ordinal Solicitor General Member of parliamentparty affiliation Member of parliamentparty affiliation Ministry Term start Term end Time in office Notes 1 Not a member ofLegislative Council Prior to responsiblegovernment 11 August 1824 17 August 1825 Not a member ofLegislative Council Prior to responsiblegovernment Appointed in 1826 but never sworn in Appointed in 1826 but never sworn in Appointed in 1826 but never sworn in 1988 Autumn Bar News Journal of the NSW Bar Association 22 2 Not a member ofLegislative Council Prior to responsiblegovernment 3 September 1827 1 April 1828 3 Not a member ofLegislative Council Prior to responsiblegovernment 15 March 1828 27 October 1829 Not a member ofLegislative Council Prior to responsiblegovernment Appointed in 1830 but failed to take up his duties promptly Appointed in 1830 but failed to take up his duties promptly Appointed in 1830 but failed to take up his duties promptly 4 Not a member ofLegislative Council Prior to responsiblegovernment 14 June 1832 16 September 1836 5 Not a member ofLegislative Council Prior to responsiblegovernment 20 March 1841 30 August 1844 6 Not a member ofLegislative Council Prior to responsiblegovernment 31 August 1844 11 January 1848 Not a member ofLegislative Council Prior to responsiblegovernment 12 January 1848 19 November 1849 Appointed MLC from 1851 no party Prior to responsiblegovernment 20 November 1849 5 June 1856 7 MLA no party Donaldson 6 June 1856 25 August 1856 8 MLC no party Cowper 1 12 September 1856 2 October 1856 MLA no party Parker 3 October 1856 23 May 1857 9 MLC no party Parker 23 May 1857 7 September 1857 MLC no party Cowper 2 7 September 1857 14 November 1858 10 MLA no party Cowper 2 15 November 1858 11 February 1859 11 MLC no party Cowper 2 21 February 1859 26 October 1859 11 MLC no party Forster 3 November 1859 31 March 1860 11 MLC no party 11 MLC no party Cowper 3 1 August 1863 15 October 1863 12 MLA no party Martin 1 16 October 1863 2 February 1865 MLC no party Cowper 4 3 February 1865 21 June 1865 13 MLA no party Martin 2 22 January 1866 26 October 1868 14 MLA no party Robertson 2 27 October 1868 9 September 1869 15 MLC no party Robertson 2 18 December 1869 15 December 1870 15 MLC no party Cowper 5 18 December 1869 15 December 1870 16 MLA no party Martin 3 16 December 1870 13 May 1872 17 MLA no party Parkes 1 14 May 1872 19 November 1873 18 MLC Dibbs 2 19 July 1893 13 September 1893 19 MLA Reid 21 December 1894 5 March 1895 19 MLA 19 MLA Reid 19 December 1895 20 April 1896 19 MLA 19 MLA Reid 22 December 1896 9 February 1897 19 MLA 19 MLA Reid 27 April 1898 7 October 1898 19 MLA 19 MLA Reid 3 January 1899 1 May 1899 20 Not a member of Parliament 31 July 1901 6 October 1904 21 MLC Wade 21 December 1909 20 October 1910 22 Not a member of Parliament 15 March 1911 1912 23 MLC McGowenHolman 1 2 April 1912 28 January 1914 24 MLA Holman 1 19 January 1915 6 February 1915 MLC Holman 2 16 November 1916 23 July 1919 25 MLC Holman 2 23 July 1919 12 April 1920 26 MLC Storey 15 April 1920 13 April 1922 法律政策專員（1923 年至今） Ordinal Solicitor General Term start Term end Time in office Notes 27 Cecil Weigall 27 December 1922 August 1953 28 Harold Snelling August 1953 September 1974 29 Reginald Marr September 1974 March 1978 Mason K The Office of Solicitor General for New South Wales PDF 1988 Autumn Bar News Journal of the NSW Bar Association 22 30 Gregory Sullivan February 1979 February 1981 31 Mary Gaudron 16 February 1981 February 1987 32 Keith Mason February 1987 February 1997 Leslie Katz Acting February 1997 February 1998 33 Michael Sexton February 1998 present 參見 澳洲法律政策專員 維多利亞州法律政策專員 法律政策專員 法律政策專員 香港 備註 參考文獻 外部連結 新南威爾士州司法廳 Category 特定地區法律職業 Category 法律政策專員 Category 澳大利亞司法
