Judiciary of Palau
The judiciary of Palau is a branch of the government of Palau that interprets and applies the laws of Palau, as modified by custom and tradition, to ensure equal justice under law, and to provide a mechanism for dispute resolution. The judiciary comprises a four-member Supreme Court, a Court of Common Pleas, and a Land Court.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Organization )〕 The Supreme Court has a trial division and an appellate division and is presided over by the Chief Justice, assisted by three Associate Justices and a number of ''ad hoc'' part-time Associate Justices.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Associate Justices )〕
The Supreme Court sits in Koror, the largest town of Palau, with certain arguments being heard in the capital, Ngerulmud. Cases are adjudicated by a single justice in the Trial Division and appeals are heard by three other justices as a panel in the Appellate Division. The Trial Division has jurisdiction over all civil matters over $10,000 and criminal matters not assigned to the Court of Common Pleas and adjudication of land interests. The Supreme Court also handles disciplinary and other special proceedings.
==History==
The judiciary was created in 1981 when the Supreme Court was established, with Mamoru Nakamura as the first Chief Justice, until his death in 1992. Nakamura has previously been the first Micronesian Associate Justice on the High Court of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. In 1992, Arthur Ngiraklsong was appointed as the second Chief Justice. In 2010, the judicial system was changed to use trial by jury.
