Who is the head of the Department of Justice called?

The head of the Department of Justice is called the Attorney General. This individual is responsible for overseeing the federal legal system and ensuring that the laws of the United States are enforced fairly and impartially. The Attorney General represents the United States in legal matters, advises the President and the Cabinet on legal issues, and manages the Department of Justice, which includes various law enforcement agencies such as the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration.

In contrast, the Chief Justice is the head of the Supreme Court, the Solicitor General represents the government before the Supreme Court and handles cases that involve the federal government, while the title Secretary of Justice is not commonly used in the United States' federal structure. Thus, the title of Attorney General specifically reflects the highest legal authority within the Department of Justice.
