Supreme Court of Illinois

Supreme Court of Illinois

The Supreme Court of Illinois is the highest judicial court of the state of Illinois. The court's authority is granted in Article VI of the current Illinois Constitution, which provides for seven justices elected from the five appellate judicial districts of the state. The district encompassing Cook County is represented by three justices, while the other four districts elect one each. Each justice is elected for a term of ten years [cite web |url=http://www.state.il.us/court/SupremeCourt/CourtsInIL.htm |title=Courts in Illinois |publisher=Illinois Supreme Court] and the chief justice is elected by the court from its members for a three-year term.

The court has limited original jurisdiction, hears appeals of right in death penalty cases and cases where the constitutionality of laws has been called into question, and has a docket of discretionary appeal from the Illinois Appellate Court. Along with the state legislature, the court promulgates court rules for the state as a whole. Also, its members have the authority to elevate trial judges to the appellate court on a temporary basis.
