Judiciary of Australia

The Judiciary of Australia is the system of courts responsible for interpreting and applying the law. It functions independently from the government to ensure fair and impartial justice. The High Court is the highest court, resolving constitutional issues and appeals, while the Federal and State Courts handle specific areas like criminal, civil, and administrative cases. Judges are appointed based on merit and serve to uphold laws, protect rights, and maintain the rule of law across the country. This separation of powers ensures that no single branch controls justice, promoting fairness and legal integrity.
