The Supreme People's Court (SPC, Намора Имингука Йако Иминантщо tr. Namora Iminguka Yako Iminantxo) is the final appellate court of the People's Republic of Namor. Considered the highest court in the Namorese judicial system, the SPC is tasked with reviewing decisions of lower courts and conducting judicial review.
Under the current constitution, the SPC has five members - one President and four Vice Presidents.
Election of judges
Unlike in some countries, where judges of the supreme court are appointed by the head of state or government and confirmed by the national legislature, the judges of the Supreme People's Court are elected by the Central Council, while the President-General of Namor has no say in the matter except in extraordinary circumstances where the Central Council is incapable of electing a judge.
Article 19 of the Namorese Constitution stipulates that the same qualifications for the President-General apply to judges of the People's Courts, including the SPC. This means all judges must be 45 years or older and have resided in Namor for more than 15 years before taking office.
The President of the SPC is elected to one 20-year term, while the Vice Presidents are elected to one 10-year term. The terms are not renewable.
If a judge of the SPC dies or is unable to remain in his or her position for any other reason, the Central Council must elect a successor within 100 days of the preceding judge's departure from office. If this cannot be accomplished, the President-General appoints a judge. In any case, the successor will serve out the remainder of the predecessor's term.
