State Counsel

The Attorney General's Chambers comprises of State Counsel and Public Prosecutors. The State Counsel are fully qualified lawyers and have full rights of audience before all the courts of Seychelles. They conduct all types of work on behalf of the Government of Seychelles. There are also Assistant State Counsel, they possess qualifying law degrees but are yet to complete the bar (hence unlike State Counsel, their time at the Attorney General's Office whilst Assistant State Counsel do not count for pupillage).
