Summary:

Second Edition: This timely publication explains the duties and responsibilities of the Ministry of Justice created in 2007. The New Ministry of Justice provides an accessible introduction but with sufficient detail for the more critical reader seeking to understand both the historic and modern-day role of this key office of State (and its predecessors the Lord Chancellor's Department and Department of Constitutional Affairs). Easy to read - written in the style of the acclaimed Waterside Press Introductory Series - this handbook contains a wealth of information making it an indispensable resource. An ideal text for students and practitioners alike. A closely observed account of 21st century arrangements in relation to justice and constitutional affairs in the UK that can be read on its own or alongside The New Home Office: An Introduction and The Criminal Justice System: An Introduction.
