The Supreme Court of Liechtenstein, the Furstlicher Oberster Gerichtshof, is under article 97 of the Constitution the third instance of ordinary civil and criminal jurisdiction, after the Princely Court of Justice at Vaduz in the first instance and the High Court of Appeal at Vaduz in the second. Article 100 makes it, like the High Court of Appeal, a collegial judicial body. The World Factbook archive describes five judges and five substitutes, elected by the Landtag and appointed by the monarch, with Supreme Court judges serving renewable four year terms. The court gives its address as Spaniagasse 1 in Vaduz, and the Constitutional Court is a separate court.
