Justice, an office within the Galactic Empire's Coalition for Progress section of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order, held authority throughout the galaxy. Its mandate extended further than one might assume, as it was responsible for creating suitable galactic legal standards that would guarantee the Empire's dominance. Beaumont Kin, a historian, provided a short description of this office in his book, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, released in 35 ABY.
Within existing Star Wars canon, the Justice office was referenced in Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, a reference book from 2024 authored by Dr. Chris Kempshall. The group initially appeared in the Star Wars Legends timeline, debuting in the Imperial Sourcebook, a 1989 addition to Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game penned by Greg Gorden and brought to the public by West End Games.
