The Northern Ireland Law Commission was a Law Commission in Northern Ireland created under section 50 of the Justice (Northern Ireland) Act 2002, implementing recommendations following the Good Friday Agreement.[1] It replaced the non-statutory Law Reform Advisory Committee. The commission has been "non-operational" since April 2015.[2]

The Northern Ireland Law Commission kept the law of Northern Ireland under review, with a view to law reform. It had five members, a part-time chairman and four full-time commissioners, appointed by the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. The chairman was a judge of the High Court of Northern Ireland, who retained judicial office. The other commissioners were a barrister, a solicitor, a legal academic, and a layperson.
