Judicial System
Background
The judicial system in the United States is a critical component of the governance structure, encompassing federal and state courts that interpret and apply the law. This system plays a key role in ensuring justice, protecting rights, and resolving disputes. Key aspects of the U.S. judicial system include the appointment and confirmation of judges (especially to the Supreme Court), the interpretation of laws and the Constitution, the balance of power among branches of government, and the overall administration of justice, including criminal and civil law.
