Criminal case files, 1950-1960.

According to the Alabama Government Manual, Sixth Edition (1982), "the Attorney General is a constitutional officer whose principal duties are to provide legal advice and legal representation for the State, its officers, and its citizens." These files deal with criminal cases in which the Office of Attorney General was involved. Files which concern cases brought to the state Court of Appeals or the Alabama Supreme Court have carbon copies of pertinent notices, motions, writs, and decrees. The remaining files simply contain carbon copies of writs or pleadings. They may also contain newspaper clippings and copies of the Southern Reporter which mention the particular case.
