Judicial Branch of Oregon

The Judicial Branch of Oregon is responsible for interpreting and applying the law through its court system. It ensures justice is served by resolving disputes, interpreting laws, and protecting constitutional rights. The branch includes trial courts, which handle cases like criminal, civil, and family matters, and appellate courts, which review decisions made by lower courts for fairness and correctness. The Oregon Supreme Court is the highest court, setting legal precedents for the state. This branch operates independently but within the framework of the state constitution, maintaining justice, fairness, and the rule of law across Oregon.
