Local government in the Philippines
Local governments have two branches: executive and legislative. All courts in the Philippines are under the Supreme Court of the Philippines and therefore there are no local-government controlled judicial branches. Nor do local governments have any prosecutors or public defenders, as those are under the jurisdiction of the national government.
Supreme Court of Justice (Austria)
The Austrian judiciary is divided into general courts () and courts of public law ().
The courts of public law supervise the other two branches of government. One of its limbs, the administrative court system, reviews the legality of administrative acts. Its other limb, the Constitutional Court, adjudicates on liability claims against the Republic, its provinces, and its municipalities,
demarcation conflicts between courts or between courts and bureaucrats,
complaints regarding the constitutionality of statutes or the legality of ordinances,
election complaints,
and complaints regarding the conduct of elected officials and political appointees in office.
The general courts handle all remaining civil cases and all criminal trials as well as non-adversary proceedings such as inheritance cases or legal guardianship matters.
