The Supreme Court of Estonia (Riigikohus), located in Tartu, is the court of highest instance in the Republic of Estonia and also serves as the national constitutional review court. Its mandate is to review lower court judgments through cassation proceedings in civil, criminal, and administrative chambers, ensure legal certainty and uniform judicial interpretation, and adjudicate the constitutionality of legislative acts and international treaties. Established by the Estonian Constituent Assembly on October 21, 1919, the Court held its first public session in Tartu on January 14, 1920, and was formally restored on May 27, 1993, following the re-establishment of Estonian independence.
