List of Justices of the Supreme Court of Arabi

Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Supreme Court of Arabi is the highest-ranking judicial body in the United Socialist States. Its membership consists of one Chief Justice of Arabi and eight associate justices, any six of whom would constitute a quorum. Article III, Section I, Clause I of the Constitution grants plenary power to the President of Arabi to nominate, and with the advice and consent (confirmation) of the Arabin Senate, appoint justices to the Supreme Court. Justices have a mandatory retirement at age 75, and receive a salary which is set at $155,000 per year for the chief justice and at $144,000 for each associate justice as of 2010.

The Supreme Court was created by Article III of the United Socialist States Constitution, which stipulates that the "judicial power of the United Socialist States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court," and was organized by the 1st Arabin Congress.
