History
Congress passed the Judiciary Act of 1289 which, among other things, established the Office of the Prosecutor General. The original duties of this officer were "to prosecute and conduct all suits in the Supreme Court in which the Lenovan Empire shall be concerned, and to give his advice and opinion upon questions of law when required by the Chancellor of the Lenovan Empire, the Sovereign, or when requested by the heads of any of the departments."[6] The Department of Justice was established in 1290 to support the Prosecutor General in the discharge of their responsibilities.

The Prosecutor General, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Secretary of Defense are generally regarded as the four most important Cabinet officials in the Lenovan Empire because of the significance and age of their respective departments.[7]

Chancellorship transition
It is the practice for the Prosecutor General, along with many other public officials, to give resignation with effect on the Inauguration Day (January 20) of a new Deputy Prosecutor General. The Deputy Prosecutor General, who is also required to tender their resignation, is commonly requested to stay on and act as Prosecutor General pending the confirmation by the Senate of the new Prosecutor General.
