The Law Commission is an independent institution established under Chapter XII of the Constitution of the Republic of Malawi. The Commission has the mandate to review and make recommendations relating to the repeal and amendment of laws for conformity with the Constitution and applicable international law. Our core business centers on Law Reform. We are required to amend and make recommendations r
egarding any matter pertaining to the Constitution. We also review any matter pertaining to the laws of Malawi so that they are in conformity with the Constitution and applicable international laws. Law Reform may involve just amending a law, or actually replacing an old law with a new law, or where there is need for a new law, developing one. After reviewing any law, the Law Commission makes recommendations by submitting a particular law reform Report to government through the Minister of Justice. Our recommendations may either be legislative or policy in nature.
