The Supreme Court of Disparu (French: Cour suprême du Disparu) is the highest court in Disparu and as such, it is the final court of appeal in the justice system within the country. It may, however, refer cases to either the International Court of Justice or the International Criminal Court. Its decisions are stare decisis and are binding to all lower courts. The Supreme Court meets at the Palace of Justice in Férin.
The Supreme Court consists of nine judges: the Chief Justice, currently Lyse Gagnon, and eight other Associate Justices. Judges in the Supreme Court are appointed by the Administrator, though their appointment is not final until they are approved by the National Assembly. Judges of the Supreme Court serve for life; they can however resign earlier, or be impeached by the National Assembly. Generally, the longest-serving judge in the Supreme Court automatically becomes the Chief Justice; however, the National Assembly may choose to appoint someone else, as is the case for the current Chief Justice.
