"Level Five, Department of International Magical Co-operation, incorporating the International Magical Trading Standards Body, the International Magical Office of Law and the International Confederation of Wizards, British Seats."
Voice of lift at the British Ministry of Magic[src]

The International Magical Office of Law was a division of the Department of International Magical Co-operation charged with attending to matters pertaining to international wizarding law, although its exact function is uncertain.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

  • Although the exact function of this office has yet to be established, the name suggests that it is, like the Educational Office, a principal organ of the International Confederation of Wizards and that its work was more regulatory in nature than diplomatic, as the latter would have already been covered by the British Seats.
  • If so, the International Office of Magical Law might have served a purpose similar to the UN's Security Council; meaning that it¨s duties presumably included establishing operations aimed at magical security, enacting sanctions on member countries for failure to properly comply with the International Statute of Secrecy and advising wizarding governing bodies on the matter.
