Prior to the present-day Minister of Justice title being incorporated, it was known as the Chief Secretary of Justice, which led the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice was incorporated in 1972 as a way to centralize all legal efforts committed by the government, which prior to then, each department had its own legal facilities and handled their respective parts, but now, the DoJ was to handle all of it for the entire government, which was also mandated to the courts through the ratification of the Justice Restructuring Act 1972.


===Sara Mauer===
The Department of Justice would see a modernization come the early 2000's with the ratification of the Youth Criminal Liability Act 2003, which took away some of the DoJ's legal responsibilities and handed them off to the Department of Youth & Social Services in addition to permitting government departments to handle their own legal affairs as long as the Secretary of Legal Policy signed off, which helped to lower the workload they were seeing at the time.


'''Sara Mauer''' is the 1st and current [[Minister of Justice (Makko Oko)|Minister of Justice]] since the formation of the [[Makko Oko|Empire of Makko Oko]], serving since 2019. She was born on October 15th, 1965, in the present-day city of Xion, Makko Oko, and grew up as the youngest child in a family of three siblings. Her father was a lawyer, and her mother worked as a school teacher.
There would be very little changes after this until after the end of the Civil Transition War when the department would be transformed into the Ministry of Justice and the legal facilities would be given back to the individual departments, with the MoJ still having primary jurisdiction.
 
Sara showed early signs of her interest in law and justice, and after completing her high school education, she pursued a law degree and ended up getting the highest marks on the bar exam. She graduated with honors in 1987 and started her professional career as a lawyer in a prestigious law firm in other nations, and then working as a legal rep for the government beginning in 1990 to advise then-President Julius Knudsen. During her tenure as a lawyer, she developed a reputation for her meticulous attention to detail and her unwavering commitment to justice.
 
In 1995, Sara joined the Department of Justice as a public defender. Her razor-sharp legal expertise soon caught the attention of her superiors, and she was promoted to the position of policy analyst in 2002. There, she had led some major decisions that earned her a promotion to senior policy analyst and then to secretary of legal policy in 2007.
 
In 2011, Sara was appointed as a judge in the Supreme Court, where she presided over several high-profile cases. She gained widespread admiration for her sound judgment, keen insight into legal matters, and her firm but fair approach to sentencing. Her accomplishments on the bench were widely lauded, and in 2018 she personally spared the lives of multiple APF soldiers who should've been executed to be "lenient during these trying times". That made her good personal friends with the Emperor, earning her a spot in the Ministry of Justice after the war concluded in 2019.
 
In her personal life, Sara is a devoted family woman. She has been married for over twenty years to her college sweetheart, Phillip Mauer, who is a successful businessman. They have two children together, and despite her demanding professional schedule, Sara maintains a healthy work-life balance.

History

Prior to the present-day Minister of Justice title being incorporated, it was known as the Chief Secretary of Justice, which led the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice was incorporated in 1972 as a way to centralize all legal efforts committed by the government, which prior to then, each department had its own legal facilities and handled their respective parts, but now, the DoJ was to handle all of it for the entire government, which was also mandated to the courts through the ratification of the Justice Restructuring Act 1972.

The Department of Justice would see a modernization come the early 2000's with the ratification of the Youth Criminal Liability Act 2003, which took away some of the DoJ's legal responsibilities and handed them off to the Department of Youth & Social Services in addition to permitting government departments to handle their own legal affairs as long as the Secretary of Legal Policy signed off, which helped to lower the workload they were seeing at the time.

There would be very little changes after this until after the end of the Civil Transition War when the department would be transformed into the Ministry of Justice and the legal facilities would be given back to the individual departments, with the MoJ still having primary jurisdiction.

The minister may, however, have somebody fill in for them on an as-needed basis, but otherwise, the minister is the only person authorized to be the president of the council.
