French judiciary

France's judiciary is a structured legal system that interprets and applies laws through various courts. It includes criminal, civil, and administrative courts, each handling specific cases. The judicial system is independent from the executive and legislative branches to ensure impartiality. The Supreme Court, or Court of Cassation, reviews decisions to maintain consistent interpretation of the law. Administrative disputes are handled by specialized courts like the Conseil d'État. Judges are professionally trained and serve to uphold legal rights and uphold justice, ensuring the rule of law is maintained throughout the country.
