Ministry of Justice (Morocco)

The Ministry of Justice is the ministerial department of the Government of Morocco responsible for the preparation and implementation of government policy in matters relating to the administration of justice. The ministry oversees the functioning of the judicial system, the administration of courts, the management of the penitentiary system and the development of legislation related to civil and criminal law. It also contributes to legal reform and to the modernization of the judicial system in coordination with other state institutions.

The ministry operates within the framework of Morocco's constitutional and legal system and works alongside judicial bodies such as the Supreme Council of the Judicial Power and the Public Prosecution Service. While the judiciary is constitutionally independent, the ministry retains administrative responsibilities relating to the organization and functioning of judicial institutions.
