Danish Law
The judicial court system of the Kingdom of Denmark is not a single body – Denmark has one system, Greenland another, and the Faroe Islands a third. However, decisions by the highest courts in Greenland and the Faroe Islands may be appealed to the Danish High Courts. This article describes only the court system of Denmark.
Denmark's judiciary enjoys special statutory protection from the executive branch. Since late 2005, a gradual reform of the structure and functions of the lower courts has been working its way through the Danish Parliament.

Famous quotes containing the word law:
“From the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
—Charles Darwin (1809–1882)
