The judicial branch is not just a branch but a system of courts that interpret and apply the law on behalf of the state. The court system also provides a mechanism for resolving disputes. In some parts of the world, the judiciary does not make the law or apply it, but interprets the law and applies it to each individual case to which it is to be applied. The judicial branch of our government is not only the Supreme Court but also the federal courts. One of their many tasks is to explain laws and determine whether they are part of the constitution. According to Article III of the United States Constitution, it says, and I quote: "Every person charged with wrongdoing is entitled to a fair trial before a competent judge and a jury of his peers." "So that's another reason why we have a justice system in place so that everyone has a fair chance in court. These are just some of the things the justice system has. Another interesting piece of knowledge about the judicial branch is that unlike the executive and legislative branches, members of the judicial branch are appointed by the President of the United States. However, the Senate must approve and elect the president's appointees. While the other branches are picked by the people. An important part of the judicial branch is the Supreme Court of the United States. Among all other courts in the country, the Supreme Court holds the greatest power. Some of the powers that the Supreme Courts have are that the decisions of the Court cannot be appealed to any authority, because it is the final judicial arbiter in the United States on matters of federal law. However, the Court may review appeals from the highest state or federal courts. The Court also has original jurisdiction in cases involving ambassadors and other diplomats, as well as in cases between states. These are just a few of the many powers the Supreme Court has.
