State ministers of justice head the supreme state authority responsible for the administration of justice in the German states . The Justice Division is usually administered by a separate Ministry of Justice in each country .
Within the framework of cooperative federalism , the justice ministers of the federal states work together in the conference of justice ministers (in short: Justice Ministers ' Conference , JMK), whose meetings are also regularly attended by the federal minister responsible for justice . Through their membership in the Federal Council - in particular in its legal committee - the justice ministers participate in federal legislation .
