It is established by the Constitution of Malta and operates independently of the executive (the Cabinet) and legislative (the Parliament) branches of government.

The judiciary of Malta is composed of the Chief Justice, judges and magistrates.

The judiciary interprets and applies impartially the laws of Malta in civil, criminal, constitutional, and administrative matters, and ensures the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms.
