Confederal Supreme Court

The Confederal Court was the highest court of law in the Galactic Confederate Systems, and composed the judicial branch of the Confederacy's government.

The Court consisted of twelve justices (each addressed as "Your Honor"); one of them was the Chief Justice who headed both the Court and the judicial branch. The President of Congress apparently could influence appointments to the Court in some way, most likely through nominations.

The Confederal Court, in addition to serving as a 'court of last resort' and as a determiner of constitutional legality, the Court also tried cases involving the most interstellar matters in the Confederacy. However, at least some cases (including the trial of senators for treason) were handled by the Congres. The Court had the ability to issue subpoenas and writs.
