The '''Supreme Court of Cascadia''' is the highest court, constitutional tribunal, civil court, and trial-level court of general jurisdiction in the national judiciary of the [[Aurora:Cascadia|Republic of Cascadia]]. It has ultimate original jurisdiction over all national court cases if a matter is raised to the court relating to the [[National Constitution of Cascadia (Aurora)|constitution]] or [[Republic of Cascadia Statutes at Large|laws of Cascadia]], and over town court cases that involve a point of Cascadian constitutional or national law; and it also has inferred appellate jurisdiction over cases settled in local tribunals or courts. The court holds the power of judicial review, the ability to invalidate a statute for violating a provision of the Constitution. It is also able to strike down presidential directives for violating either the Constitution or statutory law. However, it may act only within the context of a case in an area of law over which it has jurisdiction, unless the [[President of Cascadia|President]] uses their authority to refer a passed law to the Supreme Court to evaluate its constitutionality before the President decides to sign it. | The '''Supreme Court of Cascadia''' is the highest court, constitutional tribunal, civil court, and trial-level court of general jurisdiction in the national judiciary of the [[Aurora:Cascadia|Republic of Cascadia]].
