The Supreme Court
The Judiciary presently consists of just The Supreme Court. The judges in the Supreme Court are called Justices. They use the Constitution as their guide in deciding on the legality of laws and in individual court cases. The court is currently set up for three justices, one Chief Justice and two Associate Justices. The Chief Justice opens and closes court proceedings, and conducts the order of business. Each justice gets just one vote for each case.
