Netherlands Judiciary

The Netherlands judiciary is the system of courts that interprets and applies the law to resolve disputes and administer justice. It is independent from the government to ensure fair decision-making. The judiciary includes various levels of courts: district courts handle most civil, criminal, and administrative cases; courts of appeal review these decisions; and the Supreme Court is the highest authority, setting legal standards. Judges are appointed based on expertise and independence, ensuring impartial judgments. The system promotes the rule of law, protecting individual rights and guiding lawful conduct throughout the country.
