Purpose and Creation
The Supreme Court of Solentia is composed of 7 Justices who serve staggered terms of 21 years on the Court. The Justices are nominated to the Court by the Supreme President of Solentia and must then be confirmed by a 50% + 1 vote in the Senate. The stagger was created during the initial Court, when the first Justices were placed for terms of 7, 14, 17 and 21 years. Two Justices are replaced on the 7th year, 2 on the 14th, 1 on the 17th, and 2 on the 21st.

The Court was created to address issues in interpretation of the law, and to provide a check to the legislative and executive branches of government.
