The judiciary of Portugal is a system of courts that together constitute one of the four organs of Sovereignty as defined by the Portuguese Constitution. The courts are independent from the other three Portuguese organs of Sovereignty (President of the Republic, Government and Assembly of the Republic).
The Portuguese courts are divided by four independent orders, each of which corresponds to the separate Constitutional, Judicial, Administrative and Auditors jurisdictions.
The public prosecution and the representation of the State before the courts is assured by an independent body of magistrates, known as Public Ministry.
The Ministry of Justice is the Government department responsible for the administration of the Judiciary system.
