In first references, we often use the full title of an organization, in caps: the U.S. Justice Department, Michigan State University, ect.
But in subsequent references -- after we established the group in the first reference -- we can use a generic version in lower case or an appropriate common acronym: the justice department, the department, MSU, the university, ect.
