    Standing committees of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario are regularly established within ten days of the beginning of each Session of Parliament, and report to the Legislature on matters referred to them. They do not have the authority to initiate investigations or expand their mandate. This committee was established in 1971 and absorbed some of the functions of the former Standing Committee on Social, Family and Correctional Services. It has had several minor variations of name: Standing Administration of Justice Committee, Justice Committee, Administration of Justice Committee, but by 1980 was known as the Standing Committee on Administration of Justice.
