Is it true that adjective phrases can legally follow modified nouns in English under specific syntactic conditions?

That adjective phrases can follow modified nouns under specific conditions in English is a well-established grammatical fact (e.g., postnominal adjectives in certain idiomatic, coordinate, or modified structures like 'attorney general' or adjectives modified by postnominal complements).
