Overview of German Courts And Judiciary
The German judicial system is organized into five independent court systems: ordinary (civil and criminal), administrative, labor, social, and fiscal courts. The Gerichtsverfassungsgesetz (GVG) establishes court organization, while the Bundesverfassungsgericht (Federal Constitutional Court) ensures constitutional supremacy.
