Chile's judiciary branch is a partially independent entity and includes civil, criminal, family and labor courts, courts of appeal, a system of military courts, a constitutional tribunal, and the Supreme Court. They carry out their functions with separate chambers, consisting of at least five judges each, presided over by either the most senior member or the president of that court. The Supreme Court consists of seventeen members, who select a president from their number for a three-year term.

The majority of the courts have four members, but the two largest courts have thirteen members, and Santiago's Appellate Court has twenty-five.
