Solicitor General
Sometimes called the "tenth justice," the Solicitor General is the lawyer for the U. S. Government, and attorneys in that office are responsible for presenting cases on behalf of the United States in the Supreme Court. Someone from the Solicitor General's office will also frequently argue on behalf of the United States when the government is not a party but has filed an amicus brief in the case.
