The Supreme Court is the judiciary of The Leftist Assembly. It consists of three Justices nominated by the Secretary and approved by the region. This body holds ultimate jurisdiction on the law, and hosts court cases to settle legal disputes.

The current Justices are Halfblakistan, Morvan, and Kavagrad. Their term commenced on 23 December 2018 and will conclude with the appointment of the next Justices in March 2019.

History

The Justices were initially tiered as Chief, First and Second Justice until the Legal Standard Act passed via referendum on 21 May 2017, whereby the authority of the three Justices was equalised.

The judicial body itself was originally nameless until the Judicial Separation Act, which passed via referendum on 6 November 2017, established the name 'Supreme Court'. In addition, this bill ensured that Justices were no longer members of the General Assembly, coming into effect following the December 2017 election.

Votes

Since the 8th General Assembly, the Secretary has nominated Justices and they have each been faced with a confirmation vote. The results of these are as follows:

Term Results
8th Libertasnia Rathfarnham VegemiteIsGross
12-1 10-3 12-1
9th Communistico Rathfarnham South Miruva
10-3 10-3 12-1
10th Communistico†† Morvan South Miruva

11th Cedoria Morvan New Lonopolian Empire
12-2 13-1 13-1
12th Halfblakistan Morvan Kavagrad
15-3 15-3 18-0

Llorens was approved 21-0 later in the term to replace Libertasnia after they stepped down.

†† The Final Horseman was appointed by the Secretary later in the term to replace Communistico after they ceased-to-exist.
