| - The Supreme Judicial Court is the judicial branch of the government. The role of the judicial branch is to interpret the Constitution, monitor the Federal government and ensure the supreme unbiased justice is protected in the Federal Republic of the Chinese Nations. Seven Supreme Judges (最高大法官 ) are nominated by the President and approved by the Legislative Senate to lead the judiciary branch. The most senior of the Supreme Judges presides over the Supreme Judicial Court, but does not out rank the other 6 in terms of judicial power. One Supreme Judge takes office every year and serves a term of 7 years (renewable indefinitely). Hence, each of the 7 Supreme Judges start their terms a consecutive year after one another, allowing a possible yearly change in one-seventh of the leadership of the judicial branch.
