The Chief Justice of the Hanover Supreme Court is the chief judge and head of the Hanover Supreme Court, the highest judicial body of the Hanoverian Union. As per the Brussels Agreement, the chief justice is mainly tasked with overseeing the day-to-day duties of the Hanover Supreme Court relating to trials or appeals involving members of the organisation, as well as determining the legality and constitutionality of any laws passed by the organisation's legislative body, the Executive Council, so as to ensure its compliance with the organisation's constitution, the Brussels Agreement.
