Canadian judiciary

The Canadian judiciary is the system of courts that interprets and applies the law in Canada. It operates independently from the government to ensure fair justice. The Supreme Court of Canada is the highest court, reviewing significant cases and interpreting the Constitution. Below it are federal and provincial courts, handling various legal matters like criminal cases, family disputes, and civil issues. Judges are appointed based on merit, and they ensure that laws align with Canadians' rights and freedoms as outlined in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This structure aims to maintain justice and uphold the rule of law in society.
