Federal Ministry of Justice (Germany)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Federal Ministry of Justice (German: Bundesministerium der Justiz) is a federal ministry in Germany.
Under the federal system of Germany, individual states are most responsible for the administration of justice and the application of penalties. The Federal Ministry of Justice devotes itself to creating and changing law in the classic core areas related to Constitutional law. The Ministry also analyzes the legality and constitutionality of laws prepared by other ministries.
The German Federal Court of Justice, the German Patent Office, and Patent Court all fall under its scope.
Prior to the end of World War II, its predecessor was the Reich Ministry of Justice, originally founded in the Weimar era.
