The Supreme Court of Makko Oko is the 2nd highest court within the Empire Of Makko Oko. The court has full appellate jurisdiction over any civil or criminal case in the nation, and defacto constitutional review jurisdiction throughout the entire empire. In some cases, the court has ordinary jurisdiction whenever ordered so by the Ministry Of Justice, the Emperor, whenever a court forwards a constitutional question to the court, and per the court's own decision to take on a case. In addition, the court holds the power of judicial review and the ability to invalidate a statute for violating a provision of the Basic Rights Of Makko Oko.
History
Republic Of Makko Oko
When Makko Oko originally came to be in 1990 as the Republic Of Makko Oko, the Constitution guaranteed and mandated the creation of the Supreme Court Of Makko Oko. The court was during that era, the highest court in the nation, with the authority to impeach and remove public officials from office, in addition to Members Of Parliament (MP), the authority to overturn national, province and city law, and the authority to overturn Presidential decrees.
During the Republic, the Supreme Court had been a body of constantly changing justices, with their appointments only lasting for a maximum of 6 years, 1 year longer than the term of a President (5 years). The Supreme Court was largely pro-people, with many rulings against the government made, by many justices. Over 300 public officials got impeached by the court during its existence, while no President was impeached.
When the Civil Transition War struck, the President of the Republic, Harold Zenonis, disbanded the court and paused it until the end of the war, which at the time of the disbandment, was thought to end on the Republic's side. When that didn't occur, the Supreme Court ended permanently.
Rebirth In The Empire
After the end of the Civil Transition War and the removal of the old Constitution, the new Emperor, Conall Solis, sought to recreate the Supreme Court Of Makko Oko, and did so by enacting a decree, known as an Emperor's Order. The order set out the body and framework of the court, with much more flexibility in changing it than during the Republic. It was still the highest court in the land, up to its downgrade of authority, and the first Chief Justice appointed was Kimberly Giddens directly by the Emperor themselves.
