Brazilian Judiciary

The Brazilian Judiciary is the system of courts responsible for interpreting and applying the law in Brazil. It is independent from the executive and legislative branches, ensuring fairness and justice. The judiciary includes various levels, such as state courts, federal courts, the Supreme Federal Court (STF), and specialized courts like labor and electoral courts. The STF is the highest court, mainly handling constitutional issues. Judges and magistrates are appointed based on their legal expertise. The judiciary’s role is to resolve disputes, safeguard constitutional rights, and ensure laws are correctly implemented across the country.
