Supreme Court of Chenes

The Supreme Court of Chenes is the supreme judicial authority and the highest court in the federal judiciary of Chenique Republic. It is the final court of appeal for all federal court cases and ultimate appellate jurisdiction for both federal court cases and state court cases that involve judicial review of Chenique constitutional law, federal law or state law. It also includes cases involving federal parties, which include those apart of the Federal Government of Chenes as well as regional and state parties, such as West Chenes and East Chenes. The court also holds power over presidential directives or actions that can be considered contrary to constitutional or federal law. The court also hears cases with very large political effects, however this has been done sparingly throughout the court's history as it has been constitutionally bound to answer questions regarding the law without consideration to political overtones.

The Supreme Court takes its origins from establishment, composition and procedures from the Penobscot Assembly that involved delegates belonging to the Chenique Confederation, which involved Chenique and Wapanaki people; and the Anigiduwai. The court consists of thirteen justices: one supreme justice, three representative justices, and nine associate justices. The court takes unorthodox measures for a court to maintain the diversity of the court to reflect the composure of the Chenique government. The first nine associate justices are split by threes between the Chenique, the Wapanaki, and the Anigiduwagi. From there, each group is alloted one representative justice, who is appointed unanimously by the three associate justices. Subsequently, the supreme justice is appointed directly by the president with the approval of the representative justices. The justice can be Chenique, Wapanaki, or Anigiduwagi; however, supreme justices have generally tended to be Chenique. All justices have lifetime tenures, and remain on the bench until they die, retire or resign. Removal of a justice has never occured in Chenique history, and procedures for such a removal are not defined very well.
