The Solicitor-General of Victoria, Australia is the state's Second Law Officer, behind the Attorney-General. The holders of this office are appointed by Cabinet on the basis of their legal expertise. Solicitors-General are members of the Executive. Formerly, they were elected members of parliament, but have not been so since the early/mid twentieth century. The functions of the Victorian Solicitor-General are two-fold. First, s/he acts as Victoria's senior legal adviser. Second, s/he represents the state in significant legal proceedings where Victoria is party, or where the Victorian Attorney-General intervenes either in Commonwealth matters under section 78A of the ''Judiciary Act 1903'' or in matters concerning the ''Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006'' under s 34 of that Act. In 2003, Victoria appointed its first female Solicitor-General, Pamela Tate, following an unprecedented public advertising of the position. : (acting from Jan. 1854 to Nov. 1855) ==See also== *Solicitor-General of Australia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Solicitor-General of Victoria (Australia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
