The Attorney General is head of the Department of Justice and the fourth ranking member of the cabinet (behind the Secretaries of State, Treasury, and Defense). The flag is blue--a brighter shade than other cabinet secretaries'--with the central device of the Department of Justice seal on it and a white star in each corner. Below the shield is a scroll inscribed "Qui pro domina Justitia sequitur," which is conventionally translated "Who prosecutes on behalf of our lady Justice." The dimensions are 52 x 66 inches like other flags of senior officials; the fringe is white.
According to [kng49], page 642, this flag was adopted in 1932.
