The Italian Judiciary is the system of courts and judges responsible for administering justice in Italy. It operates under the principles of the Italian Constitution, ensuring the rule of law and the protection of individual rights. The judiciary is independent from the executive and legislative branches, which helps maintain a balance of power. The system is composed of various levels, including ordinary courts, administrative courts, and specialized courts for specific matters. The highest court is the Court of Cassation, which reviews decisions made by lower courts to ensure uniformity in the interpretation of law.
