The Attorney General Office (Portuguese: Advocacia-Geral da União, AGU) is a cabinet-level position in the Brazilian government charged with advising the Executive Branch and representing the federal government of Brazil in legal proceedings legally known as the Union (União). It is the institution responsible for the legal representation, supervision and control of the Union and the Government of Federative Republic of Brazil, as well as for the protection of public assets against third parties or Government members. The Attorney General is defined under the Article 131 of the Brazilian Constitution as one of the essential functions of Brazilian judicial administration, along with the roles performed by the judicial branch, the Prosecutor's office, the public defenders and private lawyers. It practices, along with the Attorney General's Office of the National Treasury, the Federal Attorney General's Office and the Attorney General's Office of the Central Bank, public law at the federal level, which gives it the representation of all the powers of the Union in the judicial or extrajudicial sphere. The current Attorney General is Jorge Messias. Under the constitution, the Attorney General must be at least 35 years old. All Attorneys General within the Office must be bar members in Brazil. The Attorney General of the Union is a member of the Brazilian cabinet, holds the rank of Minister, and is also the head of the Advocacia-Geral da União (AGU), which is an essential function and branch of the federal government formed by its own Attorneys. The attorneys who comprise the AGU are divided into four career paths: the Attorney for the National Treasury (Procuradores da Fazenda Nacional), who represent the federal government in tax and financial matters; the Attorney for Brazil (Advogados da União), who represent the government in general cases; the Attorney for the Federal Agencies (Procuradores Federais), who represent the federal agencies; and the Attorney for the Central Bank (Procuradores do Banco Central). Their functions are not limited to the Judiciary, and they are also responsible for internal legal control of the government and international legal representation of the Republic.
