{{Main|Law of the Oan Isles}}The '''Supreme Court''' (''Kooti Hupirimi'') is the highest court of law. It is the final court to which cases from other courts can be appealed and its judicial precedent is binding on all courts in the land. It has the power to review laws for their constitutionality and strike them down if they violate the Constitution. It consists of 12 judges including the Chief Justice. The Chief Justice is the head of the judiciary and highest-ranking judge in the land. Judges are symbolically confirmed by the Emperor after being chosen by the Prime Minister from nominations from the '''Commission on Judicial Appointments''' and approved by the Judiciary Committee of the Council of the People. |

The Commission on Judicial Appointments consists of eminent persons in law from numerous areas and it recommends judges for appointment and dismissal. Whereas the approval of the Council of the People is required for Supreme Court justices, the Chief Justice oversees the nomination of Magistrates. Magistrates administer justice in the rest of the judicial system. Magistrates must be experienced lawyers who have passed a magisterial exam. |
