🏛️ Civic Purpose & Constitutional Framework of the Canadian Judicial System
The judicial system of Canada is founded upon a bijural and federal structure, balancing English common law and Quebec civil law under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Supreme Court of Canada represents the highest judicial authority, supervising the Federal Court of Appeal, the Federal Court, the Tax Court, and provincial and territorial superior trial courts (such as the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, Cour supérieure du Québec, and BC Supreme Court).
