Massachusetts Judicial Branch
The Massachusetts Judicial Branch is responsible for interpreting and applying the law through a system of courts. It ensures justice is served by resolving disputes, protecting rights, and maintaining legal order. The branch includes various courts, such as the Supreme Judicial Court (highest court), appellate courts, and trial courts, each handling specific types of cases. The branch is independent, guided by laws and the Constitution, and operates under the leadership of the Chief Justice. Its goal is to provide fair and efficient justice for all residents of Massachusetts.
