The Attorney General (Manx: Yn Turneyr Theayagh or Yn Ard-Turneyr) of the Isle of Man is the Government's top legal adviser and has an ex officio (non-voting) seat in the Legislative Council.
The Attorney General is a Crown officer, rather than a member of the Isle of Man Government. He is appointed by the Lord Of Mann, with advice from her UK's Secretary of State for Justice.
Her Majesty's Attorney General in the Isle of Man is currently John Quinn, 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.
