About the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Division 

The Division comprises two Sections, covering  thematic areas of Justice and Criminal Law.
Justice Section
The Justice Section of the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Division focuses on the design and delivery of programmes of assistance to Commonwealth member countries aimed at reforming justice systems including the training of the judiciary and court support staff, promoting the establishment of juvenile justice systems, the reduction of detained persons awaiting trial, promoting access to justice initiatives within those justice systems, and strengthening democratic processes and good governance. In addition, the Justice Section works in areas relevant to Constitutions and electoral laws, administrative law and law reform.

The Section also contributes to the planning and servicing of Commonwealth meetings of Law Ministers and Attorneys General and Senior Officials, the provision of in-house legal advice, and providing information to member countries. 
Criminal Law Section
The Criminal Law Section of the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Division delivers programmes of assistance to member countries of the Commonwealth, to enhance good governance and the rule of law and develop national institutions which effectively support the administration and delivery of justice. This includes assistance to effectively implement laws and programmes to combat all forms of criminality, in particular transnational organised crime, corruption and economic and financial crime, terrorism and international crime. Programmes are developed with national, regional and international agencies to build capacity within justice systems, in order to facilitate the rule of law; and to promote international co-operation between states to combat international crime and assist states to implement international obligations and standards in domestic law.  The Section also assists with the strengthening of the enforcement, prosecution and adjudication systems of member countries to ensure an effective regime for the delivery of justice.  The members of the Section perform a range of representational and information dissemination functions and organise training courses, conferences and workshops on various subjects in different parts of the Commonwealth.
