The Ministry of Justice was the Florenian government ministry responsible for prosecuting crimes, policing, and the general maintenance of justice until its abolition on 13 January 2022.

History

Created by Parliament on 10 August 2014 through the Ministry of Justice Act 2014, the Ministry was overseen by the Attorney General, who acted as the chief lawyer for the Florenian government and was responsible for administration of the ministry and the prosecution of crimes in the Crown Court of Florenia. As a government minister, the Attorney General was to be appointed by the Monarch on recommendation by the Prime Minister, and was a member of the Cabinet. The position remained vacant for the entirety of its existence, and no individuals have been prosecuted by the government since the foundation of the ministry.

Functions

The primary functions of the Ministry of Justice were the prosecution of alleged criminals and law enforcement. Mandated to exercise the latter responsibility is the Royal Police Force, or RPF, which was led by the Royal Commissioner of Police. The RPF was the only Florenian law enforcement organization. The other branch of the ministry was the Florenian Bar Association, which was headed by the Solicitor General. The Bar Association was responsible for regulating all individuals certified to practice law in the Crown Court as attorneys. No individuals were ever detained and/or pursued by the RPF and no individuals were prosecuted in the Crown Court.
