Italian judiciary

The Italian judiciary is the system of courts and judges that interprets and applies the law in Italy. It is independent and operates separately from the government. The main types of courts include civil, criminal, and administrative courts. The Supreme Court of Cassation is the highest court, ensuring uniformity in legal interpretation. Judges are appointed, and trials can involve both professional judges and lay judges (citizens). The Constitutional Court protects national laws and the Constitution. Overall, the Italian judiciary plays a crucial role in upholding justice and the rule of law in the country.
