This book provides a detailed account of each law officer’s
functions and draws on that account as the basis for a conceptual
analysis of their constitutional legitimacy. In recent years, the
constitutional legitimacy of law officers has been questioned
repeatedly because of recurring controversies surrounding the
discharge of their varied functions. Indeed, it has become
increasingly clear that those functions enable law officers to play
a highly influential part in the regulation and exercise of public
power throughout the United Kingdom. McCormick argues that the most
persuasive framework for analysing the offices which make up this
diverse regime involves concentrating on the constitutional values
of independence, accountability and trust which underpin it. Both
aspects of the book – namely the explanation of individual
functions and the conceptual analysis of collective legitimacy –
are written in a holistic way which encompasses critical analyses
about the Attorney General and Solicitor General for England and
Wales; the Counsel General for Wales; the Lord Advocate, Solicitor
General and Advocate General for Scotland, as well as the Attorney
General and Advocate General for Northern Ireland.
