Judiciary committees

Judiciary committees are specialized groups within legislative bodies, such as the U.S. Congress, responsible for overseeing legal and judicial matters. They review proposed laws (bills) related to the judicial system, civil rights, and law enforcement. The committee examines the implications of legislation, holds hearings to gather expert opinions, and recommends whether a bill should be passed, amended, or rejected. Additionally, they may investigate issues concerning the justice system, confirm judicial appointments, and ensure legal accountability, serving as a crucial check within the legislative process.
