Ukrainian courts enjoy legal, financial and constitutional freedom guaranteed by measures adopted in Ukrainian law in 2010. Although there are still problems with the performance of the system, it is considered to have been much improved since the last juddicial reform introduced in 2002. The Supreme Court is regarded as being an independent and impartial body, and has on several occasions ruled against the Ukrainian government.

Ukraine has no jury system; most cases are heard by either a single judge or two judges accompanied byassessors. Ukraine has about 8,000 judges. Independent lawyers and human rights activists have complained Ukrainian judges regularly come under pressure to hand down a certain verdict.

The judicial system of Ukraine consists of four levels of courts of general jurisdiction, as follows:

Local Courts

• Local "general" courts (combining criminal and civil jurisdiction) consisting of:

• district, urban district and town courts;

• city courts in Kiev and Sevastopol.

• Local specialized courts (either commercial or administrative jurisdiction) consisting of:

• regional courts;

• commercial and administrative courts of the capital of Autonomous Republic of Crimea;

• city courts in Kiev and Sevastopol.

Courts of appeal

Courts of Appeal (combining criminal and civil jurisdiction), consisting of:

• regional courts of appeal;

• court of appeal of the capital of Autonomous Republic of Crimea;

• courts of appeal of the cities of Kiev and Sevastopol.

• Specialized Courts of Appeal (either commercial or administrative jurisdiction) consisting of:

• commercial courts of appeal;

• administrative courts of appeal.

Courts of cassation

High courts with specialized jurisdiction

• The High Specialized Court on Civil and Criminal Cases, covering civil and criminal cases;

• The High Administrative Court of Ukraine, covering administrative cases;

• The High Commercial Court of Ukraine, covering economic and commercial cases.
