      • The Attorney General (Manx: Yn Turneyr Theayagh or Yn Ard-Turneyr) of the Isle of Man is the government's senior legal adviser and has an ex officio (non-voting) seat in the Legislative Council and in Tynwald Court.
      The Attorney General is a Crown officer, rather than a member of the Isle of Man Government. He is appointed by the monarch on the advice of the UK Secretary of State for Justice.
      Walter Wannenburgh was appointed to the office in October 2022 following the death in January 2022 of John Quinn QC, who first held the post in an acting capacity until 2017, while Stephen Harding was suspended and after Harding resigned. Harding was charged with perjury and committing acts against public justice, but after two trials in which the juries were unable to agree a verdict, it was announced that no further criminal proceedings would be taken.
