Colorado Judicial Branch

The Colorado Judicial Branch is the part of the state government responsible for interpreting and applying the law. It includes various courts, such as the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, and district and municipal courts. These courts handle civil and criminal cases, ensuring justice is served fairly. The branch also oversees the administration of justice, including providing legal resources and support for judges and court staff. Its goal is to protect rights and uphold the rule of law in Colorado, functioning independently from the executive and legislative branches to maintain a system of checks and balances.
