The Ministry of Justice served as the instrument of the New Republic government, responsible for both the legal pursuit of legal cases and the maintenance of law and order. A Minister of Justice was the leading figure in this organization.
Located on Coruscant, the Ministry of Justice operated from a sizable tower. The uppermost point of the tower featured a continuous transparisteel window and functioned as a gathering location for the heads of the New Jedi Order.
Following the restructuring of the New Republic into the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, it transitioned into the Galactic Alliance Ministry of Justice during 28 ABY.
