The Ministry of Justice of Lebanon (Arabic: وزارة العدل) is a ministry of the Lebanese government responsible for the administration and organization of the judiciary, oversight of the application of laws, preparation of draft legislation, and representation of the Lebanese state before courts. Its institutional origins date back to the establishment of Greater Lebanon under the French Mandate in 1920, and its current structure is governed primarily by Legislative Decree No. 151 of 1983, which remains in force.
