Judicial Branch!! But this has gone SOOO LONG!!! Missouri Supreme Court 7 judges 12 year terms How are judges selected?? Missouri Plan Under the plan, the Appellate Judicial Commission submits the names of three applicants to the Governor. If the Governor fails to make a nomination, the Commission shall make the appointment. Once the judge has served for at least a year, he or she will be placed on the general election ballot for a retention vote of the people. If retained, judges serve a term of 12 years. What topics can they decide on? The validity of a United States statute or treaty. The validity of a Missouri statute or constitutional provision. The states revenue laws. Challenges to a statewide elected officials right to hold office. Imposition of the death penalty. Is there only a Supreme Court? Great Question! Why not at all!!!

Circuit Courts Serves criminal trials Well what about courts like Judge Judy?
