I understand that this quite an ambitious, abstract question, but how does one become the UK's Attorney General? I've been eye-balling a career as commercial/public law barrister, and have started to think about the Attorney General's role as sort of a long-term goal (like say, how those entering a business may aspire to be CEO). Though possibly unrealistic, what is the path to this role, out of interest?
And also, would you say the job is more politician than lawyer?
