If you have a Supreme Court

Postby Venetoland » Sat Jan 16, 2010 12:10 pm

How many Justices sit on the court? In Venetoland, we have 11 Justices. Our President submits the nomination to the House of Delegates. If they survive a 2/3 vote in commitee, they must receive 3/5 support of the full House.

The Constitution of the Democratic Republic of New Wroclaw declares that the nine members of the Constitutional Court shall be elected by Parliament. It also determines the rules of such elections. Impartiality is guaranteed by having proposed members of the Constitutional Court to be put forward by a nominating committee consisting of three members from each party represented in Parliament and shall be elected by a two-thirds majority of all Members of Parliament. DRNW law provides that only jurists of outstanding theoretical knowledge or having at least twenty years of legal practise may be elected members of the Constitutional Court. Membership is for a term of nine years and members may be re-elected once.

The Supreme Court is composed of 1 Justice for each of the 7 states. Each serving for life, or until retiring.

-Method of Supreme Court Judge Selection:
-Appointment must be proposed by one of the regents, and must be endorsed by a 2nd.

-If 2nd regent but not 3rd endorse, all 3 legislative chambers must also approve.

-If all 3 regents endorse, approval is required only by 2 legislative chambers.
-If candidate is a former regent, and has approval of all 3 regents, approval is required by only one legislative chamber.

-Requirement for appointment: Justices must be residents of the state they represent, and must have served at least one term in any house of the legislative branch, or have been a member of “The Assembly”.

There are two Supreme Courts in Rumbria, the Palace of Justice for Criminal appeals, and the Court of Arbitration for Civil cases.
Three Masters of Law sit in each.

Rumbria has no 'Written' constitution, and bases its unwritten constitution on the supremacy and sovereignty of the law of the Lord President. No national body can overturn the decision of the Lord President.
So goddamned leet: Rumbria is ranked 6th in the region and 1,337th in the world for Most Godforsaken.

The Supreme Court of Altane is officially called 'The High Court of the Altanian Empire'

The Emperor usually appoints the candidates to the roles of the 8 High Justices and the Grand Justice although usually bases his appointments on the advice he recieves from an independant commision that is usually in charge of Judicial appointments.

Since Altane is an Absolute Monarchy, Victor XX can overturn, or rule on cases if he so wishes but often refrains from doing so and leaves the job to the courts.

In Tritonalia, Grandfather decides all punishment, and decides whether anyone is guilty. The worst punishment is him leaving them. Then they get sad. Very, very sad.

[Grandfather adds : It's very upsetting when one of my children does something wrong. But when they do, they have to be punished. And if that means me leaving them, then so be it. But if I do, they are so sad, so no-one ever does anything that could merit something like that.]

The Royal Supreme Court is made up of 13 Justices.

The Justices are selected by the King and need 3/4 approval in all three chambers of the Royal Congress and then need 3/4 of the vote from the general population in order to become a Justice. As well, 75% of all eligible voters must cast votes.

Supreme Court justices are appointed and/or removed by vote of Parliament. There are no hard and fast rules but there is usually an odd number of justices, highly trained in law and culture. Although there must be a "court of last resort", Fatatatutians recognize that few issues are actually resolved by interpretation of law.

We have the Supreme People's Revolutionary Tribunal, which is the highest court in the land. It has 15 tribunes, all appointed directly by the Presidium of the Communist Party. As there are no appeals, however, and the Constitution is really whatever the Communist Party says it is, the purpose of this body is to try and convict (no one is ever acquitted in our judicial system)...and then sentence the counterrevolutionary traitors brought before it for public show trials. If you are actually on trial by this court, then you are in serious trouble....think gulags, deportations, executions, etc.

The San Lumen Supreme Court has eleven members. One chief justice and ten associate justices. Justices are nominated by the Monarch which must then be approved by the president. The nominee then goes to the Senate judiciary committee for confirmation hearings. A vote is then taken in committee. A full vote is then taken by the Senate. A simple majority is required.

The Supreme Court of Jurisdictions is the highest judicial authority in the land.

There are nine Justices on the Court, 1 chief and 8 associate justices.

In our land judicial tradition is strong so strong in fact that most people in the nation believe it to be the most powerful branch.

The Chief is also considered the leader of the country by all.

Derscon doesn't have a "supreme court" as other states have, but instead has a "Judicial Rights Council."

DersconESUSWikiPage wrote:Judicial Rights Council

The Judicial Rights Council exists in order to ensure the protection of the liberties of the Subjects of the Imperium. If a section or article in the Imperial Law Code is found to be in violation of the rights of an individual (as outlined in the Special Imperial Decree on the Rights of Citizens).

The JRC is then convened, consisting of a carefully selected panel of outstanding judges and scholars, the Minister of Justice, Minister of Imperial Affairs, and co-chaired by the Imperial Chancellor and a member of House Andropov.

The case is then argued before the JRC. Should the law be found to not violate rights, then, in effect, nothing happens, except that the articles or sections involved may not be challenged again, except for in a new context.

Should it be found to violate the rights of citizens, the articles and sections in question are then struck permanently from the Imperial Code and entered into the Code of Tyranny. No law - not even an Imperial Decree - may ever coincide with any law in the Code of Tyranny, or that institution shall be absolved of all loyalty to it, and culturally, it is seen as a moral obligation to destroy said institution. Only a Special Imperial Decree may ever remove something from the Code of Tyranny.
