The Secretary of State for Justice, also known as the Secretary for Justice or Justice Secretary, is the head of the Sanctarian Department of Justice, which is concerned with the justice system, the courts, prisons and probationary services, and the nation's police force. The current Justice Secretary is Eric Hill, who was appointed to the post on 01 February 2018.
Prior to February 2018, the position was generally known as the Secretary for Home Affairs. The Department itself has been renamed on a number of occasions.
Overview
The Secretary of State for Justice is the principal advisor to the Prime Minister on all matters relating to the justice system within Sanctaria. The Secretary is, among other things, responsible for forming government policy on the criminal justice and rehabilitation systems, judicial policy and appointments, and policing reform, financing, and governance.
The position was originally established in 1974 as the Secretary of State for Home Affairs, in charge of the Department of Home Affairs. At the time, the Secretary was also responsible for the nation's immigration and border policies, equality, and governmental reform. In recent years, those duties have been transferred to other departments.
Duties
The basic duties of the Secretary for Justice include, but are not limited to:
- Oversight, and reform, of the Sanctarian Police Force.
- Responsibility for offenders in Sanctarian prisons and rehabilitation centres, and oversight of both the Sanctarian Prison Service and the Probation and Welfare Service.
- Oversight of the judiciary, the legal system, and responsibility for the Court System.
- Ensuring legislation passed by the World Assembly is enacted in Sanctaria.
- Advising the President on pardons and clemencies.[1]
