Guardian of the Constitution - Catalyst for Legal Policy
Law constitutes the foundation of our free democracy. Guaranteeing the rule of law and pursuing further refinements in this area is a central task of legal policy, and thus also of the Federal Ministry of Justice.
The legislative work undertaken by the Ministry pursues this objective, and encompasses the preparation of new legislation as well as the amendment or repeal of existing laws.
The following pages contain a summary of the functions and organisational structure of the Federal Ministry of Justice. In addition, an information brochure, our organisation chart and an overview of the court system in Germany are available for download.
