Edit links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Supreme Court of Justice (Spanish: Tribunal Supremo de Justicia) is the highest court of ordinary jurisdiction in Bolivia, based in Sucre. Its powers are set out in Articles 181–185 of the 2009 Constitution and the Law of the Judicial Organ (Law 025, promulgated on 24 June 2010).[1][2] It was first seated on 2 January 2012.[3]

It was first seated on 2 January 2012.[3] Due to vacancies on the Court and other problems in its final years, the Supreme Court of Justice inherited a backlog of some 8,800 cases in January 2012, which it was charged with resolving within 36 to 48 months.[3]
