This article is the first study of the official career of Sir Christopher Hales. It casts new light on the workload and responsibilities of an early Tudor lawyer-administrator at the highest levels of government. It is structured around the principal stages in Hales's career: undersheriff of Kent (1507-8), solicitor general (1525-9), attorney general (1529-36) and master of the rolls (1536-41). Its chief contribution to scholarship is that it provides a detailed discussion of the office of attorney general in the early Tudor period
