The '''Supreme Court''' is the judicial branch of [[Region/The Leftist Assembly|The Leftist Assembly]]. It consists of three Justices appointed by the Secretary and approved by citizens in individual confidence votes.
  
The current Justices are Llorens, Morvan, and Auven. Their term commenced on 2 July 2019 and will conclude with the appointment of the next Justices in September 2019.
+

 +
 
 +
This body handles legal disputes between citizens, hosts court cases to settle criminal charges, votes on said criminal charges upon the conclusion of a fair and public hearing, and is the highest authority on the interpretation of all regional law as per the [https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=613587#CPA Court Procedure Act].
  
 
==History==
 
==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.
+
===Tiered Justices===
 +
The Legal Standard Act was proposed by Llorens in the 5th General Assembly and passed by referendum, 18-3, on 21 May 2017. As per its changes, the positions of Chief Justice, First Justice and Second Justice, held at the time by New Lonopolian Empire, Rathfarnham and Llorens respectively, were each renamed to Justice and given equal voting power on all legal proceedings of the Ministry of Law.
  
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 (The Leftist Assembly)|General Assembly]], coming into effect following the [[The Leftist Assembly election, December 2017|December 2017 election]].
+
===Independent judiciary===
 +
The Judicial Separation Act was proposed by Llorens in the 7th General Assembly and passed by referendum, 19-1, on 6 November 2017. As per its changes, the legislature and judiciary were completely separated following the [[The Leftist Assembly election, December 2017|December 2017 election]], with Justices instead being appointed by the Secretary and approved by citizens in individual confidence votes. The bill also officially named the judiciary as the Supreme Court.
  
===Votes===
+
===Civil and criminal law===
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:
+
The Civil Cases legislative package was proposed by Dawtania in the 14th General Assembly, with a referendum passing 37-15 on 10 August 2019, and one subsequent statute law amendment passed by the General Assembly, 3-2. As per its changes, civil lawsuits and criminal cases were officially separated, distinguished by the dealing with non-criminal and criminal laws respectively, as well as the title of the accusatory party being changed from prosecutor to plaintiff for civil lawsuits.

Overview

Membership 3 Justices

The Supreme Court is the judicial branch of The Leftist Assembly. It consists of three Justices appointed by the Secretary and approved by citizens in individual confidence votes.

Each Justice's term lasts for approximately three months from the date of their confirmation until the date of the next Secretary's Supreme Court appointment confirmations.

This body handles legal disputes between citizens, hosts court cases to settle criminal charges, votes on said criminal charges upon the conclusion of a fair and public hearing, and is the highest authority on the interpretation of all regional law as per the Court Procedure Act.

History

Tiered Justices

The Legal Standard Act was proposed by Llorens in the 5th General Assembly and passed by referendum, 18-3, on 21 May 2017. As per its changes, the positions of Chief Justice, First Justice and Second Justice, held at the time by New Lonopolian Empire, Rathfarnham and Llorens respectively, were each renamed to Justice and given equal voting power on all legal proceedings of the Ministry of Law.

Independent judiciary

The Judicial Separation Act was proposed by Llorens in the 7th General Assembly and passed by referendum, 19-1, on 6 November 2017. As per its changes, the legislature and judiciary were completely separated following the December 2017 election, with Justices instead being appointed by the Secretary and approved by citizens in individual confidence votes. The bill also officially named the judiciary as the Supreme Court.

Civil and criminal law

The Civil Cases legislative package was proposed by Dawtania in the 14th General Assembly, with a referendum passing 37-15 on 10 August 2019, and one subsequent statute law amendment passed by the General Assembly, 3-2. As per its changes, civil lawsuits and criminal cases were officially separated, distinguished by the dealing with non-criminal and criminal laws respectively, as well as the title of the accusatory party being changed from prosecutor to plaintiff for civil lawsuits.
