Supreme court

In most legal systems, a supreme court, also called a court of last resort, an apex court, or a court of final appeal, is the highest court in the hierarchy of courts, and its decisions bind every other court in the jurisdiction and cannot be reviewed by any other court. A supreme court functions mainly as an appellate body, reviewing the decisions of trial courts and intermediate appellate courts, though it may occasionally exercise original jurisdiction over certain kinds of cases, and the precedent it sets is binding across the whole judicial system it heads.
