The United States Department of Justice is a cabinet department in the United States government created in 1870, which is administered by the United States Attorney General, one of the original members of the cabinet. Initially the Attorney General was a one person, part-time job, established by the Judiciary Act of 1789 but this grew with the bureaucracy. At one time the Attorney General gave legal advice to Congress as well as the President, but this stopped by 1819 due to workload.
