The French Judiciary is the system of courts and judges responsible for interpreting and applying the law in France. It is divided into two main branches: the judicial branch, which handles civil and criminal cases, and the administrative branch, which deals with disputes involving public authorities. The highest court in the judicial branch is the Court of Cassation, while the Council of State serves as the highest administrative court. The judiciary operates independently from the executive and legislative branches, ensuring a fair and impartial legal process for all citizens.
