The Solicitor-General of Tasmania is the second law officer for Tasmania. Their duties are primarily providing legal advice to the Government of Tasmania.[3] [4] The Solicitor-General leads the Solicitor-General's Office, which is made up of two sections led by Assistant Solicitors General: Advisings and Litigation. They are housed in the Executive Building at 15 Murray Street, Hobart.[5]
The office has existed since 1825, largely mirroring practices in the United Kingdom where it was given to a member of the cabinet. In 1863 a Royal Commission concluded that the office should become a non-political and non-ministerial office. It was the primary office for legal administration until 1934, when the Attorney-General's Department was created, after which the office has been responsible for advising ministers and agencies. The Solicitor-General Act 1983 was passed in 1963, which established the office under statute.[2]
