Judges and courts to interpret laws
Common law, also known as case law or precedent, is law developed by judges through decisions of courts and similar tribunals.
The judicial system operates within the boundaries of the law. Judges interpret what they think the law means in each case.
The body of judges in a country refers to the judiciary, which is typically made up of various levels of courts with judges appointed to interpret and apply the law in legal cases. These judges are responsible for ensuring justice is served and upholding the rule of law in the country.
The justice system: courts, judges, lawyers, law enforcement officers
"Major" and "minor" judges typically refer to judges who preside over different levels of courts. Major judges are typically judges who preside over higher courts, such as appellate courts or supreme courts, while minor judges preside over lower courts, such as district courts or municipal courts. The distinction is based on the level of court they preside over rather than their authority or importance.
The courts don't really change to adjust when there is a new administration. The law is the law unless something major changes. Judges are not supposed to rule on their own personal feelings. They go based on the law.
