The Judiciary of Canada is the system of courts that interprets and applies the law in Canada. It is independent from the executive and legislative branches of government, ensuring fair and impartial justice. The judiciary includes various levels of courts, such as the Supreme Court of Canada, which is the highest court in the country. Judges in the Canadian judiciary are appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister. The judiciary handles a wide range of cases, including criminal, civil, and constitutional matters, protecting the rights and freedoms of individuals as outlined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
