The Court System of Ukraine
Under the Constitution the judiciary in Ukraine is administered by
the Constitutional Court and by the courts of general jurisdiction.
The Constitutional Court has the right to declare unconstitutional
any law passed by Supreme Council of Ukraine or any order issued by the
President. It consists of 18 judges who are elected by the President of
Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada and the congress of judges.
Courts of general jurisdiction have three tiers, like a pyramid: the
district courts, the courts of appeals and the Supreme Court of Ukraine.
The Supreme Court of Ukraine is the highest body of general
jurisdiction. It only examines cases of particular complexity of special
public significance, and does so either upon its own decision, or upon the
initiative of the Procurator – General of Ukraine.
