LORD ADVOCATE

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 992 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LOB-LUP
LORD ADVOCATE , or king's
advocate
 
    See Also:
, the
principal
  law-officer of the crown in
Scotland
 . His business is to act as a public prosecutor, and to plead in all causes that concern the crown. He is at the head of the
system
  of public prosecutions by which criminal
justice
  is administered in
Scotland
 , and thus his functions are of a far more extensive character than those of the
English
  law-
officers
  of the crown. He is aided by a solicitor-general and by subordinate assistants called
advocates
 -depute. The office of king's
advocate
 
    See Also:
seems to have been established about the beginning of the 16th century. Originally he had no power to prosecute crimes without the concurrence of a private party; but in the year 1597 he was empowered to prosecute crimes at his own instance. He has the privilege of pleading in
court
  with his hat on.
