According to the Costa Rican Political Constitution, another branch of government established in the Republic is the Judicial Power, which is responsible for upholding laws and administering justice within the country. Like other branches that make up the country’s political system, the judiciary has complete independence. This independence is evident in its power to self-organize and appoint its own personnel. However, it is still possible to analyze judicial power within the government system since it interacts with other branches. One of the main ways it interacts with legislative and executive powers is through the granting of pardons and amnesties by the executive in response to judicial rulings and the declaration of unconstitutionality by the judiciary when a law approved by the Legislative Assembly conflicts with the Fundamental Charter (Poder Judicial, 2023).
