Profile of the group: Justice and legal affairs

No source read describes Mahkemeyi Temyiz Azasi by itself, so this is the profile of its group of job titles.

Officials of the courts and offices of the Ministry of Justice (Adliye), created on 14 February 1870 from the court Divan-ı Ahkam-ı Adliye. The new courts (nizamiye) were set up in the provinces from the 1860s.

History

The regulation of 21 May 1879 organised the ministry as the Ministry of Justice and Sects (Adliye ve Mezahib Nezareti), with an undersecretary, a corresponding secretary, directors for criminal and civil affairs, for the records of officials and for documents, and an accountant. The commercial courts came under the ministry in 1875.
