美国副总检察长在美国最高法院代表美国联邦政府参加讼辩。美国在最高法院采取的法律立场即由副总检察长决定。除了监管及处理政府作为诉讼方的案件外，副总检察长办公室还会在与联邦政府有重大利益关联的案件中提交法庭之友摘要。几乎所有以“合众国”为与讼一方的案件中，副总检察长办公室都会代表政府出庭争辩，并在大多数政府曾提交“法庭之友”摘要的案件中出庭争辩。在联邦上诉法院，副总检察长办公室会审视对合众国不利的案件，并决定政府是否应向最高法院寻求复核。副总检察长办公室还会审视联邦地区法院对合众国作出的裁决，并就政府对案件的上诉做出核准决定。
副总检察长办公室的组成
副总检察长由4名副副总检察长（deputy solicitors general）及17名副总检察长助理（assistants to the solicitor general）协助。其中3名副副总检察长是司法部的职业律师，剩下的1名副副总检察长被称为“首席副副总检察长”（Principal Deputy Solicitor General）。与副总检察长相同，首席副副总检察长通常在政府任期结束时卸任。
副总检察长或一名副副总检察长通常会在最高法院为最重要的案件争辩。其他案件可能由其中一名助理或其他政府律师（government attorney）参与讼辩。每个最高法院任期内，副总检察长通常会在6至9个案件中争辩，而每名副副总检察长在4至5个案件中争辩，每名助理则会在2至3个案件中争辩。[4]
