The court system is a structured network of legal institutions that interpret and apply the law. It consists of various levels, including trial courts, where cases are initially heard, and appellate courts, which review decisions made by lower courts. Each court has specific jurisdictions, meaning they handle particular types of cases, such as civil, criminal, or family law. Judges and juries play crucial roles in the court system. Judges oversee court proceedings, ensuring that laws are followed and justice is served. Juries, composed of citizens, may be called to evaluate evidence and determine the outcome of a case, reflecting the community's values and perspectives.
