The Supreme Court of the Federal Republic of Whestcorea is the highest judicial body in the Republic of Whestcorea. The only other judicial body that has a similar level of judicial power is the House of Patricians, the branch of the government that represents the nobility, but this body can be overriden by a majority vote of the Supreme Court.
It has the power of judicial review granted to it by way of the Whestcorean Constitution, allowing it to strike unconstitutional acts of government legislation as well as executive actions by government agencies or officials.
