The judicial system (or judicial branch) of Egypt is an independent branch of the Egyptian government which includes both secular and religious courts.
The Egyptian judicial system is based on European and primarily French legal concepts and methods, combined with Islamic (Shariah) law.[1]
The legal code is derived largely from the Napoleonic Code. Marriage and personal status are primarily based on the religious law of the individual concerned. Thus, there are three forms of family law in Egypt: Islamic, Christian, and secular (based on the French family laws).
The judicial branch plays an important role in the political process in Egypt, as the branch is given the responsibility to monitor and run the country's parliamentary and presidential elections.
