Ministry of Justice (Alaska)
The Ministry of Justice is an executive department of the Alaska Executive Council, the cabinet of the Premier of Alaska, Canada's largest but least populous province. It is responsible for overseeing the administration of justice at the provincial level, supervising the Alaska Provincial Rangers and other provincial law enforcement agencies, and advising the provincial government on legal affairs. The Attorney General of Alaska, a senior member of the Alaska Executive Council, chairs the Ministry of Justice, while the Attorney General's principal deputy is the Solicitor General.
The Attorney General oversees important provincial cases and the provincial police via the Alaska Provincial Police and Crime Commissioner, while the Solicitor General oversees or delegates other cases, supervises the provincial sheriff service and correctional service, and oversees the Alaska Crown Prosecution Service.
