Judicial Branch
The Supreme Court (See picture above) and the lower courts compose the Judicial Branch. The judicial power is entrusted with the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has the Cheif Justice as its head and it also has 14 assosiate justices. All of these occupy the highest level of the Judiciary. All the justices are appointed by the president with the reccomendation of the Judicial and Bar Council. There are many other courts too but the Supreme Court is the highest out of all of them.
Here I will talk about the Chief Justice and the Court of Appeals. You might be thinking, what are the Chief Justice's duty? Well you are going to find out soon enough. The Chief Justice does quite a lot of things. Some of the things that he/she does are leading the federal judiciary, acts as the official spokesperson for the Judiacial Branch, sets the agendas for Supreme Court meetings and conferences, writes annual reports to congress on the state of the federal court system,etc. The Cheif justice has a lot of responsibilities! The Court of Appeals is the second highest judicial court. This court not only reviews decisions and orders of the Regional Trial Courts nationwide but also of the Court of tax appeals. As well as the reward, judgements, final orders or resolutions of the 21 Quasi-Judicial Agencies.
Parent's Inherit Rights to Visit Child
A Married businessman and an Unmarried actress lived together without getting married. From living together, two children were born. The couple then parted and agreed that the mother would keep the children during the week and the father during the weekend. After some hard times, the mother then kept the children from the father due to the fact that he always engaged in gambling and womanizing. The father then filed a petition for custodial rights over the children. The trial then granted the children to go to their father during the weekend but cannot take them out without the mothers written consent. The Court of Appeals reversed the trial courts decision making the mother take full custody of the children. The Supreme Court, however, acknowledged the right of the father being able to visit his children without any grant of court. So the courts are in disagreement whether to allow the father to visit the children or not allow the father too see them at all.
