Italian courts
Italian courts handle legal disputes, criminal cases, and administrative matters through a structured hierarchy. The judiciary includes ordinary courts (civil and criminal), administrative courts (for government decisions), and constitutional courts (to ensure laws conform to the Constitution). The hierarchy starts with lower courts like courts of first instance, then appeals courts, and finally the Court of Cassation, which ensures uniform interpretation of the law. Italy's legal process emphasizes both written laws and judicial precedents, aiming for fair, transparent justice across regional and national levels.
