The Supreme Court of Chile (Spanish: Corte Suprema de Justicia de Chile) is the highest court in Chile and the head of the Chilean judiciary. Seated in the Justice Courts Palace in the capital, Santiago, it exercises "directive, correctional, and economic" oversight over nearly all of the country's courts, with the exception of the Constitutional Court, the Election Certification Tribunal, and the regional electoral tribunals.
Installed on 29 December 1823 under Chile's 1823 constitution, it is among the oldest institutions of its kind in the world and the oldest still-functioning supreme court in Latin America. In the Chilean system, the court lacks the broader power of judicial review—it cannot set binding precedent or invalidate laws—and instead resolves matters case by case. Most cases are heard in salas (specialized chambers) of at least five judges; a smaller number of matters go before the full court sitting en pleno.
