Judiciary

The judiciary refers to the system of courts and judges responsible for interpreting and applying the law. It is one of the three branches of government, alongside the executive and legislative branches, and plays a critical role in maintaining justice and upholding the rule of law. The judiciary has the authority to resolve disputes, review laws for constitutionality, and ensure that legal processes are followed fairly. It acts as a check on the powers of the other branches of government, protecting individual rights and liberties. The judiciary may include different levels of courts, such as trial courts, appellate courts, and supreme courts, which handle various types of cases, including civil, criminal, and administrative matters.
