Canadian justice system

Canada’s justice system is based on federal and provincial laws that uphold rights, justice, and fairness. It includes courts that interpret and apply these laws, with judges ensuring impartial rulings. Offenses are classified as criminal or civil; criminal cases involve violations against the state, while civil cases resolve disputes between individuals. The system emphasizes due process, the presumption of innocence, and legal representation. Corrections include sentencing, imprisonment, or community-based programs, aiming to rehabilitate offenders. Overall, it seeks to balance protecting society, respecting individual rights, and providing fair legal processes.
