Duties
The Attorney General has many duties, including: the head of the public prosecution from the state, the person who advises the government in legal matters, the person who represents the state's authorities in the courts, and advises in preparation of law memoranda of the government in general and the Justice Minister in particular (likewise he examines and advises for private proposals for a law of Knesset members). In spite of the position's great importance, the status, authorities, duties, terms of employing and method of appointment and dismissal of the adviser had not been defined yet in law. Nonetheless, it is possible to learn about the adviser's status, authorities and duties from the instructions that the different advisers have produced since the state's establishment.
