Canada’s judiciary power is divided between the federal government and the provinces.The Supreme Court of Canada is the highest court of the whole country.At the bottom of the federal courts are the federal administrative tribunals;above that are the federal court trial division，further up are the federal court of appeal.Each provincial judiciary is made up of the provincial courts，the superior court and the court of appeals.The federal Supreme Court is the court of last resort in Canada.As it is a general court of appeal，it can hear cases in all areas of law.There are 8 justices and one Chief Justice of Canada，all of whom are appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the Federal Cabinet，known as the Governor⁃in⁃council.The justices must resign after they reach the age of 75.Provincial courts conduct initial trials of cases.If a defendant feels the verdict or sentence pronounced by a provincial court to be inappropriate，he or she can seek a retrial of the case in higher courts up to and including final judgment by the Supreme Court of Canada.
