The judiciary is one of the three arms of the federal government in the United States. It plays the role of arbitration in both civil and criminal suits. It applies and interprets laws created or passed by the legislature. Through its application and interpretation of the law, the judiciary creates what is known as jurisprudence or precedence in handling future similar cases.
