The Legal Department, also known as the Attorney General's Chambers, was the department responsible for advising the government on legal matters, drafting legislation and conducting public prosecutions in Hong Kong until 1997, when Hong Kong ceased to be a British crown colony. It was led by the Attorney General, who was the third-most senior civil servant in colonial Hong Kong, after the Chief Secretary and Financial Secretary.
The department was created in 1950 as the product of a merger between the Attorney General's Department and the Crown Solicitor's Department. The name of the department was changed to the Department of Justice upon the transfer of sovereignty in 1997, with the head of the department renamed the Secretary for Justice.
