Judiciary of Istalia

The judiciary of Istalia is the system of courts which interprets and applies Istalian law. The judiciary is an autonomous and independent order from every other power and its indipendency is assured by a special constitutional protection.

The structure of the Italian judiciary is divided into three tiers:


 * Inferior courts of original and general jurisdiction
 * Intermediate appellate courts which hear cases on appeal from lower courts
 * Courts of last resort which hear appeals from lower appellate courts on the interpretation of law.

Supreme Tribunal of Cassation
The Supreme Tribunal of Cassation is the highest court of appeal or court of last resort in Istalia for both criminal and civil appeal cases. It has its seat in the Palace of Supreme Tribunal, Romula. It also ensures the correct application of law in the inferior and appeal courts and resolves disputes as to which lower court (penal, civil, administrative, military) and regional courts and has jurisdiction to hear a given case.
