STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION OF THE SUPREME COURT

The Supreme Court is the highest judicial organ of the State and the court of last resort. The Supreme Court is comprised of the Chief Justice and 16 Justices and its jurisdiction is exercised by three Chambers on Criminal, Civil and Administrative Cases. The main duty of each is to adjudicate cases under their jurisdiction and provide professional guidance to judges. These Chambers are established by a decision of the Supreme Court and their membership is approved by the Chief Justice.
The Supreme Court, in addition to reviewing decisions of lower courts, adjudicates cases on matters specifically allotted to it by the Law as provided for in the Constitution.
In addition, the Supreme Court has powers to provide official interpretation for uniform understanding and application of laws ( except for the Constitution ), to develop policies on the administration of justice and provide professional guidance to judges.
