Missouri Supreme Court

The Missouri Supreme Court is the highest judicial authority in the state of Missouri. It has the ultimate responsibility for interpreting the state constitution, reviewing decisions from lower courts, and establishing legal precedents. The court ensures laws are applied fairly and consistently, and it also oversees the licensing and discipline of lawyers in Missouri. Comprising a panel of justices, it makes decisions on major legal issues, and its rulings set important benchmarks for the state’s legal system. Its rulings are final, meaning they cannot be appealed further within the Missouri judicial system.
