Legislative Affairs Office (LAO; Simplified Chinese: 法制办公室 Pinyin: Fǎzhì Bàngōngshì) was an administrative office within the State Council of the People's Republic of China which assisted the premier in providing legal advice and administrative laws to govern the behaviour of government departments. This included litigation, legal reconsideration, compensation, punishment, license, administrative charges and execution. The office was managed by a director who ranks at the same level as a cabinet minister. The office was abolished and integrated to the Ministry of Justice in 2018.
