Ministry established 1972 (not 1971); confirmed by Wikipedia and old.lawjusticediv.gov.bd. Two operative divisions: Law and Justice Division (lawjusticediv.gov.bd) and Legislative and Parliamentary Affairs Division (legislativediv.gov.bd). Current minister Md. Asaduzzaman (lawyer) is distinct from former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal (sentenced to death by ICT on 17 November 2025). The ICT (International Crimes Tribunal) is not under MoLJPA; it operates under the ICT Act 1973 (as amended November 2024) with a separate prosecutorial structure, though the Law Division handles legislative amendments to the ICT Act. The annual_budget_bdt field reflects the Tk 2,200 crore (= 22,000,000,000 BDT) judiciary allocation cited by the minister in May 2026 as the approximate law sector envelope; this figure may be the Law and Justice Division allocation rather than the full ministry envelope -- no disaggregated budget data found in publicly accessible sources for FY2025-26. Verification based on 2+ primary sources for all key factual claims.
