The judiciary of Saudi Arabia is a branch of the government of Saudi Arabia that interprets and applies the laws of Saudi Arabia. The legal system is based on the Islamic code of Sharia,[1]: 111 with its judges and lawyers forming part of the country's religious leadership or ulama.[1]: 110 [2] There are also non-Sharia government tribunals which handle disputes relating to specific royal decrees.[1]: 111 Final appeal from both Sharia courts and government tribunals is to the King of Saudi Arabia and all courts and tribunals follow Sharia rules of evidence and procedure.[3]
