Government Role of The
Chief Justice
in the Judicial Branch
The
branch of government that interprets the laws. They are usually
responsible for deciding whether a law abides by a constitution
or other law. In most countries they are known as judges. The
judiciary deals with the laws passed by the legislature and
enforced by the executive. "The
Chief Justice is the presiding officer of the Court, supervising
the process of selecting the cases the Court will hear, the
public sessions or hearings, the discussions of the cases at
private conference, and the subsequent votes of the nine
Justices (including the Chief Justice)." Source
