The Supreme Court of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan functions as one of the three main branches of government. It handles judicial affairs independently, with responsibilities that include interpreting laws, ensuring the implementation of Sharia rulings, and overseeing the work of lower courts.

The court has reported progress in several areas of judicial reform. These include the digitization of case processing, steps to address corruption, and efforts to improve overall efficiency in the justice system. Specialized courts have been established to handle commercial, family, and juvenile cases.

Additional measures involve training programs for judges and the adoption of technology to speed up the handling of cases. The court states that these initiatives support the resolution of public complaints, the conduct of fair trials, and the strengthening of the rule of law.
