Official Solicitor is a term which relates to two different and relatively old offices of
British government. It was an office that represented the
Crown, which is an institution that stands in place of a written constitution. The monarch is the representative of the Crown as head of state and the Official Solicitor was originally the legal representative of the Church by which all law was enforced. When the laws of
England became divided between the spiritual (
Church of England) and the temporal (secular)
Parliament, the result was a division in the office of Official Solicitor. Today both offices still exist, yet they no longer retain the powers that they once held.
