Iowa Judicial Branch
The Iowa Judicial Branch is the part of state government responsible for interpreting and applying laws through the court system. It includes various courts, such as the Iowa Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, and lower district courts, which resolve legal disputes, ensure laws are consistent with the constitution, and protect individual rights. The branch is independent, with judges appointed or elected, and operates under a structured system that upholds justice, fairness, and the rule of law across Iowa.
