副檢察長在法庭上被稱為「副檢察長先生」（Mr Solicitor）或「副檢察長女士」（Ms Solicitor）。儘管該職銜直譯為「總事務律師」，該職位通常是由大律師（barrister）擔任，且自1925年以來一直由御用大律師（Queen's Counsel或King's Counsel）或資深大律師（Senior Counsel）擔任。以前副檢察長如律政司一樣是政治委任，但它自1922年以來與議會分離，自1969年以來，副檢察長一直為與司法廳有聯繫的法定職位。

歷史及職能

副檢察長根據《1969年副檢察長法令》（Solicitor General Act 1969）的規定運作。^[1]該法令第2條規定，副檢察長須為「具有至少7年資歷的澳洲律師」，並且不得為廳長級官員。退休年齡定為72歲。^[1]副檢察長在澳洲高等法院及其他法院擔任官方法律顧問，並就民事及刑事事宜（包括憲制法事宜）向律政司提供建議。^[2]直到1987年，副檢察長有權在新南威爾斯州的刑事上訴法院對刑事訟案提起上訴，然而這後來成為刑事檢控專員（Director of Public Prosecutions）的職責。^[3]

約翰·賓吉（John Plunkett）是第一位被冊封為為御用大律師的新南威爾斯州大律師，他於1856年6月6日由律政司職位退休。^[4][5]第一位被委任為副檢察長時已是御用大律師的人為John Hargrave。Cecil Weigall於1922年被委任為副檢察長，並於1925年被冊封為御用大律師。Harold Snelling在被委任時是御用大律師。自從1969年副檢察長職位轉變為法定職位後，只有身為御用大律師的人選才能被委任為副檢察長。^[6]1993年，新南威爾斯州停止冊封御用大律師，這一要求隨之被取消。^[7]
