List of Ministers of Justice[]

Occupations[]

Justice[]

The Ministry of Justice is tasked with ensuring that justice is served in Lovia, and that it is served well. The ministry runs all courts, appoints all judges, and runs all prisons within Lovia. Currently, there is one court, the Supreme Court, and one prison, the Embankment Federal Penitentiary. The ministry is also tasked with running and appointing judges to all future courts that may be established in the future. The ministry must also work with the Prime Minister and Congress to ensure that justice is as good as it can be in Lovia.

Courts[]

All courts in Lovia are managed by the Ministry of Justice. The Constitution currently requires only one court, the Supreme Court, and no part of the Federal Law establishes another court. The Ministry appoints judges to courts and ensures the quality of the Supreme Court and its justice.

Prisons[]

Another task of the Ministry is running prisons. People convicted in court may be sent to prisons to serve out a sentence if decided by the judge. One prison has so far been established: the Embankment Federal Penitentiary, located in Industrial Park, Noble City. The prison is currently functioning effectively, though the Ministry is tasked with improving current prisons and establishing new ones if the need arises.

In each six-month term of the Supreme Court, the Ministry of Justice nominates several justices who have made their candidacy in Congress. An election then occurs in Congress, and the three justices that win the most votes become the three Supreme Court judges for that term. The Ministry of Justice also appoints replacement judges to the Supreme Court, which have to be approved by a normal majority in Congress.
