{{Main|Judiciary of Packilvania}}
The [[judiciary of Packilvania]] (''luQadimiyat aBakhilfaniya'') is responsible for enforcing and interpretating legislation, dispensing justice and arbitrating disputes. The final court for appeals and the sole court with the power to review and strike down laws for their constitutionality is the [[Supreme Court of Packilvania]] (''luKhama luMakhnifiya aBakhilfaniya''). The court consists of the Chief Justice (''muQadim muMaharaj'') and over 30 Supreme Court Justices (''meQadim aluKhama luMakhnifiya''). Each province has a High Court (''luKhama luWaloof'') which consists of 9 Judge President (''muQadim muRayeesgur'') and over 300 High Court Justices (''meQadim aluKhama luWaloof'') and receives appeals from Magistrate Courts in their jurisdiction. The Religious Appeals Court (''luKhama aleQayeer leSlamiya'') receive appeals on religious cases including from minorities. All Justices (I.e., judges of an appellate court) are appointed by the Sultan on the recommendations of the Commission for Judicial Appointments (''leKhomishayin aleTabad leQadimishme'').
The lower courts are all courts of first instance. Magistrate Courts (''leKhama aleSharif'') are staffed by Magistrates (''leSharif leQadmam'') who are appointed and employed by the Imperial Department of Justice in terms of a framework by the Commission for Judicial Appointments. These courts exist at Regional (''Vilayet''), Municipal (''Shtar'') and District (''Qaray'') level, with decreasing powers of adjudication over criminal and civil cases while Religious Courts (''leKhama aluSlamiya'') handle religious issues. The Commission of Judicial Discipline (''luKhomishayin aluIndibat luQadimishme'') can receive and investigate complaints on the conduct of judges and magistrates and make recommendations on the dismissal of judges.
