Bulgaria's judicial system is under close scrutiny at the moment and is slated for major changes as the country reforms its structures to comply with EU standards.

Currently, its independent judiciary is based on the Three-Instances Procedure, and all judicial matters are overseen by the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC). The Supreme Administrative Court (SAC) and Supreme Court of Cassation (SCC) administer and watch over all lower court actions as well as those of the government. There is a separate Constitutional Court, which takes decisions on the constitutionality of laws and treaties.

The judiciary system is also further divided into smaller regional and military courts.
