also legal advisor for departments, authorities... is it ?
secretary of state
legislative counsel
solicitor general or Attorney General ?
Answer by coragryph
Well, look at the answers.
Legislative counsel would logically be counsel for the legislature, not the executive branch.
Secretary of State doesn't need to be an attorney.
And the Solicitor General is usually the primary litigator, not necessarily the overall legal counsel.
That leaves?

It depends on your state government. In California, we have an attorney general who heads the California Dept of Justice. The governor can get opinions from them but he also has his own personal attorneys and advisors.
Answer by thylawyer
The Attorney General for each state and the US serve as legal counsel for all state agencies and for all federal agencies, respectively. Many agencies have legal counsel who are given special authority to act on behalf of the agency as a special assistant AG for routine matters within the agency.
If the Attorney General needs an attorney, a private attorney is usually specially designated to serve as independent counsel.
