LAW, DEPARTMENT OFThe <strong>of</strong>fice <strong>of</strong> attorney-general existed in <strong>Georgia</strong> from <strong>the</strong> establishment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>provincial government in 1754 until <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> constitution <strong>of</strong> 1789 (appointment <strong>of</strong> William Clifton Aug. 12, 1754, <strong>State</strong> Officers-Appointments, 1754-1827, p. 23), being during this period a separate and distinct <strong>of</strong>fice <strong>of</strong> government(see various appointments <strong>of</strong> attorney-general). The re-organization <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> judiciaryby an act <strong>of</strong> Dec. 23, 1789 placed <strong>the</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice <strong>of</strong> attorney-general in commission with<strong>the</strong> duties divided between two persons styled <strong>the</strong> attorney-general and <strong>the</strong> solicitorgeneral,one to attend <strong>the</strong> Eastern judicial circuit and <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> Western(Watkins Digest, p. 389) and this arrangement continued until 1796; <strong>the</strong> act <strong>of</strong>Feb. 23, 1796 (original on file in department <strong>of</strong> archives and history) re-organizing<strong>the</strong> judiciary provided for three judicial circuits and again placed <strong>the</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice <strong>of</strong> attorney-general in commission, with <strong>the</strong> duties divided between <strong>the</strong> attorney-general andtwo solicitors-general. The first two attorneys-general were residents <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Westerncircuit; <strong>the</strong> next three <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Eastern and all o<strong>the</strong>rs residents <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Middle, <strong>the</strong>circuit in which <strong>the</strong> capital was located. (Solicitors-general <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> circuit whichembraced <strong>the</strong> seat <strong>of</strong> government, ex-<strong>of</strong>ficio, attorney-general. Code <strong>of</strong> <strong>Georgia</strong>,1861, p. 79). In 1868 with <strong>the</strong> adoption <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> constitution <strong>of</strong> that year <strong>the</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficewas restored to its early dignity, <strong>the</strong> attorney-general being made legal adviser <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> executive department and representative <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> state in all criminal and civilcases (Constitution 1868, art. 5); he is elected every four years by <strong>the</strong> people andtakes <strong>of</strong>fice in January following <strong>the</strong> general elections. He shall be thirty years<strong>of</strong> age, a resident <strong>of</strong> this state for three years, and have practiced law seven years.An Act <strong>of</strong> Feb. 18, 1943 created <strong>the</strong> department <strong>of</strong> law with <strong>the</strong> attorney-general at<strong>the</strong> head <strong>the</strong>re<strong>of</strong>, and assistant attorneys-general to be appointed by <strong>the</strong> governorwith <strong>the</strong> approval <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> attorney-general, and confirmed by <strong>the</strong> senate. <strong>Georgia</strong>Constitution <strong>of</strong> 1945 provided that attorney-general shall be elected in <strong>the</strong> samemanner as <strong>the</strong> Governor to hold <strong>of</strong>fice for a four year term.
