Overview of the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC)
The Attorney General’s Chambers is headed by the Attorney General. The Attorney General is the principal legal adviser to the Government of Montserrat and is therefore responsible for providing legal advice to the Government of Montserrat. For this reason, the Attorney General cannot render legal advice to anyone other than the Government of Montserrat and its satellites.
The Attorney General is an ex officio member of the Cabinet and the Legislative Assembly and attends meetings of the Cabinet and the Legislative Assembly. Further, when the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions is vacant, the Attorney General also performs the functions of that office.
The functions of Civil and Commercial Unit and the Legislative Drafting Unit are carried out under the supervision of the Attorney General.
