Supreme Court of Canada
The Supreme Court stands a short
distance from Parliament Hill -- a reminder
that, while the judiciary is a branch of Canada's government, it is completely
independent from the legislative and executive branches of government.
The Supreme Court interprets the Canadian constitution and is the highest
court of appeal in the land. It hears criminal and civil cases from the
ten provincial courts, the two territorial courts and from the Federal
Court. For more information click here. |
