What is the job title of the leader of the Department of Justice?

• A. Secretary of State for the Home Department
• B. Secretary of State for Justice
• C. Prime Minister
• D. Attorney General

Answer: (B)

The leader of a Department of Justice is typically a government minister responsible for justice policy, courts, and related legal affairs. In this context, the title that fits that role is Secretary of State for Justice. This person heads the department, setting policy, overseeing the courts and the justice system, and managing the department’s staff and budget.

The Attorney General, while a top legal advisor to the government, is not the head of the department in this framework. The Home Secretary runs the Home Department, which focuses on policing and internal security rather than the entire justice system. The Prime Minister leads the government as a whole, not a single department.
