The Imperial Supreme Court is Arendale's highest court. It has the entire Union as its jurisdiction. It is a court of appeal, i.e. cases cannot be brought before the court if they are not tried in a district court and in most cases also in a regional court. Nevertheless, the Imperial Supreme Court has the prerogative to decide itself which cases of appeal it shall hear. This leads the court to hear cases of principal importance, where clarification is needed or where standards need to be set. Rulings set substantial precedence for the lower courts as well as for the Imperial Supreme Court itself.
