Federal Department of State for Justice

The Federal Department of State for Justice, most commonly referred to as simply the 'Justice Department', is the Panemian federal government department responsible for constitutional policy, human rights law and information rights law across Panem, the administration of the Federal Judiciary and the Federal Prison Service.

Its stated priorities are to reduce re-offending and protect the public, to provide access to justice, to increase confidence in the justice system, and uphold people’s civil liberties. The Secretary of State is the minister responsible to the National Assembly for the judiciary, the court system and prisons and probation, the Panem Supreme Court and judicial appointments by the President.

The minister responsible for the department is the Secretary of State for Justice and Attorney General, who is currently Yasmin Akram. The Attorney General is a position within the department that serves as the chief legal adviser to the President and the Federal Government, and though they maintain their own office, they are still subordinate to the Cabinet-level Secretary of State for Justice (Although both positions are usually held by the same person). The Solicitor General serves as the next in command and is subordinate to the Attorney General.
