  • The Supreme Court of Missouri is the highest court in the state of Missouri. It was established in 1820 and is located at 207 West High Street in Jefferson City, Missouri. Missouri voters have approved changes in the state's constitution to give the Supreme Court exclusive jurisdiction – the sole legal power to hear – over five types of cases on appeal. Pursuant to Article V, Section 3 of the Missouri Constitution, these cases involve: * The validity of a United States statute or treaty. * The validity of a Missouri statute or constitutional provision. * The state's revenue laws. * Challenges to a statewide elected official's right to hold office. * Imposition of the death penalty. Unless their case involves one of those five issues, people who want a trial court's decision reviewed must appeal to the Missouri Court of Appeals. Most of these cases involve routine legal questions and end there. The Court of Appeals is divided geographically into the Eastern District, Western District and Southern District. Certain cases, however, can be transferred to the Supreme Court – at the Court's discretion – if it determines that a question of general interest or importance is involved, that the laws should be re-examined, or that the lower court's decision conflicts with an earlier appellate decision. This is similar to the process the United States Supreme Court uses in accepting cases. In addition, the Court of Appeals may transfer a case to the Supreme Court after an opinion is issued, either upon application of one of the parties or at the request of one of the judges on the appellate panel. In addition to issuing legal decisions, the Supreme Court supervises the lower state courts with the assistance of the Office of State Courts Administrator ("OSCA"). OSCA oversees court programs, provides technical assistance, manages the budget of the state's judicial branch, and conducts educational programs. The Supreme Court also issues practice and procedure rules for Missouri court cases, including procedure and evidence rules. The Supreme Court licenses attorneys practicing in Missouri, and disciplines lawyers and judges for violating ethical rules. (en)
  • Het Hooggerechtshof van Missouri (Missouri Supreme Court) is de hoogste rechtssprekende bevoegdheid van deze Amerikaanse deelstaat. Het gerechtshof bestaat uit zeven rechters en werd in 1820 opgericht. Het gerechtsgebouw bevindt zich in Jefferson City. De meest belangrijke kwestie ooit door deze rechtbank behandeld was de zaak Dred Scott vs. Sandford uit 1857. Een zwarte slaaf wiens eigenaar uit Missouri was overleden, klaagde de staat aan om zijn vrijheid te verkrijgen. Zowel het Hooggerechtshof uit Missouri en de federale rechtbank stelden hem in het ongelijk. Uiteindelijk werden de vonnissen uit de rechtszaak een belangrijke factor in de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog.
