The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom (UKSC) is the highest appellate court for civil cases in the UK and criminal cases from England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and limited criminal cases from Scotland. It addresses public and constitutional matters of national importance and hears cases on devolution from Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The court's main seat is in the Middlesex Guildhall in Westminster, but it can convene in other locations. While the UK has parliamentary sovereignty and no codified constitution, the Supreme Court has limited powers of judicial review. It cannot overturn primary legislation but can declare laws incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights. Established in 2009, it assumed the judicial functions of the House of Lords and exercises jurisdiction over devolution matters. The court's creation aimed to separate judicial and legislative functions, clarify the independence of the judiciary, and relieve space constraints in the House of Lords. The first President of the Court, The Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers, emphasized that the Supreme Court would provide a clear separation of powers among the judiciary, legislature, and executive.

The Supreme Court of California, established in 1850, is the highest court of appeals in the state. Its headquarters is located in San Francisco, with regular sessions held in Los Angeles and Sacramento. The court's influential decisions span various areas including torts, property, civil and constitutional rights, and criminal law. Composed of a chief justice and six associate justices, all appointed by the Governor of California and subject to retention elections, the court's structure is governed by the state constitution. Justices must meet specific qualifications and undergo a thorough evaluation process before assuming their positions. The court operates in bank, with all seven justices hearing appeals, and may appoint justices from the California Courts of Appeal to join for individual cases as needed. The court's history includes the transition from two three-justice panels to sitting in bank for all appeals and the handling of cases when all justices recuse themselves. The court's makeup and decisions have significant implications for the state's legal landscape.

The Texas Supreme Court, established in 1846, serves as the court of last resort for civil matters in the state of Texas. Comprised of a Chief Justice and eight justices, all positions are elected for six-year terms with no term limits. The Court holds administrative control over the State Bar of Texas and has the authority to license attorneys in the state. With the power to appoint members of the Board of Law Examiners and oversee attorney disciplinary proceedings, the Court plays a crucial role in regulating the practice of law in Texas courts. It accepts fewer than 100 cases per year and promulgates court rules of procedure. Unique to the Texas Supreme Court is its practice of denying discretionary review, which can imply approval or disapproval of the lower court's decision, impacting the precedential effect of the decision. Justices on the Court must be at least 35 years old, citizens of Texas, and licensed to practice law in the state, with at least ten years of legal experience. The Clerk of the Court, currently Blake A. Hawthorne, is appointed by the justices and serves a renewable four-year term. All members of the Texas Supreme Court typically belong to the same party and are elected in statewide races.

The Supreme Court comprises 52 permanent judges, including the Chief Justice of New South Wales, Andrew Bell, the President of the Court of Appeal, 10 Judges of Appeal, the Chief Judge at Common Law, and the Chief Judge in Equity. The court's central location is the Law Courts Building in Queen's Square, Sydney, New South Wales.Established in 1823, the Supreme Court was created through legislation prepared in London by James Stephen and Francis Forbes. Over the years, the court's jurisdiction has expanded to include divorce cases and full Admiralty jurisdiction. The court operates under the Constitution Act 1902 (NSW), the Supreme Court Act 1970 (NSW), and the Civil Procedure Act 2005 (NSW). Notably, the Supreme Court was one of the last Common Law jurisdictions in the world to fuse the administration of Equity and Common Law. The court has made headlines, as in 1999 when Judges Carolyn Simpson, Margaret Beazley, and Virginia Bell formed an all-female bench in the Court of Criminal Appeal.
