The ministry or department is often headed by a '''minister of justice''' ('''minister for justice''' in a very few countries) or a '''secretary of justice'''. In some countries, the head of the department may be called the '''[[attorney general]]''', for example in the [[United States Department of Justice|United States]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.justice.gov/about/history|title=History & Art of the Department of Justice {{!}} DOJ {{!}} Department of Justice|website=www.justice.gov|language=en|access-date=2018-07-17}}</ref> [[Monaco]] is an example of a country that does not have a ministry of justice, but rather a Directorate of Judicial Services (head: Secretary of Justice) that oversees the administration of justice.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gouv.mc/Gouvernement-et-Institutions/Les-Institutions/La-Justice|title=La Justice / Les Institutions / Gouvernement et Institutions / Portail du Gouvernement - Monaco|last=Monaco|first=Gouvernement Princier de|website=www.gouv.mc|language=fr-FR|access-date=2018-07-18}}</ref> [[Vatican City]], a country under the sovereignty of the [[Holy See]], also does not possess a ministry of justice.
