What position does the Hong Kong Department of Justice hold in the mainland government?

The positions of the mainland government and the Hong Kong Department of Justice are not consistent. If there must be a corresponding position, it is probably the role of Minister of Justice and Attorney General.

Generally, British and American governments do not have procuratorates. Only the government, the parliament and the court are separated. The role of the procuratorate is actually assumed by the judicial department of the government. The Ministry of Justice represents the government in court, not an independent procuratorate. So the Attorney General of the United States is equivalent to the Attorney General and Attorney General of China.

The Department of Justice in Hong Kong is equivalent to the Attorney General of the United States.

Extended data:

The Department of Justice of Hong Kong (Hong Kong) is the government agency responsible for the laws of Hong Kong, headed by the Secretary for Justice. The names before 1997 were the Legal Department of Hong Kong and the Department of Justice.

Hong Kong is very important in many legal systems, one of which is that its laws provide legal advice to other departments. The Hong Kong Government drafts a bill, which is then decided by the procuratorate to promote the rule of law in Hong Kong.

The organization of the Department of Justice in Hong Kong includes:

Prosecutions Division (Hong Kong)-headed by the Director of Public Prosecutions, is responsible for handling most appeals and trials in the Court of First Instance and the District Court.

Civil Law Section-headed by the Civil Law Commissioner, provides legal advice to all government bureaux and departments on civil law, and handles all civil litigation, including arbitration, on behalf of government lawyers.

Legal policy section-meets the requirements of the attorney general and provides legal policy advice.

Law Drafting Division-responsible for drafting laws and all government subsidiary legislation.

International Law Department-headed by the Law Policy Commissioner (International Law), responsible for advising the Hong Kong Government on public international law or acting as a legal adviser in the negotiation of bilateral agreements.
