The Supreme Court of the Federated States of Gapla is Gapla's highest court of justice. It is administered by the Ministry of Justice and it includes one Chief Justice and two justices, as well as four mandatory members of the jury. Plans to expand the court in the future are being discussed in the National Assembly, to possibly five, seven, or nine members.

The office of the Chief Justice and the justices are vacant, with the National Assembly temporarily acting as the court, because the National Assembly and President have not met to appoint the justices to the Supreme Court.
