The Courts

The courts are part of the justice system where legal disputes are resolved and laws are interpreted. They consist of judges and sometimes juries, who listen to the evidence, apply the law, and make decisions. Courts handle a wide range of cases, including criminal cases (where someone is accused of a crime), civil disputes (like disagreements over contracts or property), and family matters. Their role is to ensure justice, uphold the law, and protect individual rights. Different courts have different authority levels, from local courts handling minor issues to supreme courts making final legal rulings.
