Which entities make up the judicial branch?

The judicial branch of the state of Wyoming is comprised primarily of the Supreme Court, district courts, and county courts. This structure is a reflection of the tiered system established to address various levels of legal issues and appeals.

The Supreme Court serves as the highest court within the state, responsible for overseeing and interpreting laws, as well as reviewing decisions made by lower courts. District courts handle major civil and criminal cases and appeal cases from lower courts as well. County courts have limited jurisdiction and typically handle misdemeanor criminal cases, small claims, and other specific local matters.

The other choices include entities that do not belong in the judicial branch. Executive agencies are part of the executive branch, responsible for enforcing laws and regulations. City councils are legislative bodies governing municipalities and do not function as courts. Local businesses do not have any judicial role or authority within the court system. Thus, the correct composition of the judicial branch involves the various courts that are primarily focused on administering justice and interpreting legal matters.
