Overview

In the Department of Justice:

The Associate AG's field looks like a dark bluish-green on Jack's chart, the Solicitor General's is a slightly purplish red, different from other red flags.

Attorney General

The Attorney General is head of the Department of Justice and the fourth ranking member of the cabinet (behind the Secretaries of State, Treasury, and Defense). The flag is blue--a brighter shade than other cabinet secretaries'--with the central device of the Department of Justice seal on it and a white star in each corner. Below the shield is a scroll inscribed "Qui pro domina Justitia sequitur," which is conventionally translated "Who prosecutes on behalf of our lady Justice." The dimensions are 52 x 66 inches like other flags of senior officials; the fringe is white.

According to [kng49], page 642, this flag was adopted in 1932.
