Abstract
The minister of justice, like any other minister, must have clear, appropriate, and balanced duties, powers, and responsibilities. This article first provides an overview of the position, duties, powers, and general responsibilities of ministers, such as those established in article 137 of the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the rules regarding their appointment, vote of confidence, resignation, dismissal, questioning, and impeachment as outlined in the Constitution. Thereafter, the specific status of the minister of justice is explained. It is clear that the minister of justice occupies a position similar to that of other ministers. However, in some respects, this position is exceptional. The essence of this situation arises from the Iranian constitution, which states that "the judiciary" is outside the domain of the minister of justice. The topic of this research is to studt to what extent the method established in article 160 of the constitution of 1979 as amended in 1989, and the Act on the Implementation of Part of Article 160 of the Constitution, adopted in 2015, effectively addresses various issues regarding the relationship between the judiciary and other branches of government and is suitable for the optimal management of the country's judicial system while fully ensuring judicial independence. This research, which utilized library sources and documents for data collection and employs legal and judicial reasoning for data analysis, has shown that some issues remain unresolved and require theoretical and legal solutions. This paper presents solutions, the most important of which are based on clarifying the concept of judicial independence in judicial proceedings and decisions and avoiding its extension to the administrative, financial, and executive matters of the judiciary.
