It is basically competent to monitor proper law enforcement by lower level courts regarding different civil and commercial cases as well as personal status, penal and administrative affairs. The Supreme Court is composed of a chairman and an adequate number of counselors. The current organization of the Supreme Court is based on the combined circuit system. As original mandate suggests, the Supreme Court is a court of laws, before which final judgments issued by trial courts are challenged, and accordingly it does not examine facts of the case. However, in the event of repealing the verdict, the suit is returned to the court issuing the judgment for a second opinion and decision by judges other than those who issued the first verdict. Nevertheless, the legislator has entrusted the Supreme Court with examining some cases directly as a trial court, stipulating for its exclusive jurisdiction to look into challenges filed by persons of vested interest in regard of matters at variance with the Constitution in any crucial legal issue pertaining to the Constitution or its interpretation that might have been raised in a case examined by the court system, as well as in cases of conflict of jurisdiction, be it positive or negative, among courts, and court verdicts of death penalty.
