History
The Criminal Law Division of the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General was established in 1977 when the civil and criminal responsibilities of the Crown Law Office were divided into two separate divisions. The Criminal Law Division was administered by the Director of Criminal Law, who held Assistant Deputy Attorney General status, and who was in turn responsible for the division's two branches: the Crown Law Office-Criminal and the Crown Attorneys system. A third branch, the Divisional Planning and Administration Branch, was added to the Criminal Law Division in 1990.
