 In practice, every single Attorney General appointed since 2007 has been a non-Belonger, and only one Attorney General in the history of the British Virgin Islands was a belonger at the time they were appointed (Dancia Penn).A total of 26 persons have been appointed to the office (including as Crown Attorney or Legal Assistant prior to 1967, and persons who were appointed as acting Attorney General), of whom 20 have been men and six have been women.Three have been Queen's Counsel (although two were appointed to the rank during office), and the remaining 23 have been from the Outer bar or solicitors during their time as Attorney General.
