The branch resolves legal disputes, protects individual rights, and upholds the state and U.S. constitutions. The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) supports court operations statewide. Through its independent structure, the judicial branch provides checks and balances on the legislative and executive branches while ensuring equal access to justice for all Washington residents.
