the judicial system encompasses several different court systems with overlapping and sometimes competing jurisdiction, reflecting differences in civil, criminal, and islamic jurisprudence. the federal sharia court and the sharia bench of the supreme court serve as appellate courts for certain convictions in criminal court under the hudood ordinances, and judges and attorneys in these courts must be muslims. the federal sharia court also may overturn any legislation judged to be inconsistent with the tenets of islam.
