The '''attorney general of New Jersey''' is a member of the [[executive cabinet]] of the state and oversees the [[New Jersey Department of Law and Public Safety|Department of Law and Public Safety]]. The office is appointed by the [[governor of New Jersey]], confirmed by the [[New Jersey Senate]], and term limited. Under the provisions of the [[New Jersey State Constitution]], the Attorney General serves a concurrent term to the governor (starting on the third Tuesday of January following the election and ending on the third Tuesday following the next election). Matt Platkin became the acting officeholder on February 14, 2022, following his nomination by Governor Phil Murphy.
