Supreme Court and State Law Library

The Supreme Court of Alabama, located in Montgomery, is the highest state court in Alabama with both judicial and administrative responsibilities. Composed of a chief justice and eight associate justices, the Supreme Court has the authority to review decisions made by other state courts and to determine legal matters that fall outside the jurisdiction of other courts. It has exclusive jurisdiction over appeals where the amount in controversy exceeds $50,000 and appeals from the Alabama Public Service Commission.

The Supreme Court of Alabama is responsible for making rules governing administration, practice, and procedure in all courts. These rules aim to eliminate technicalities that cause delays in trial courts and unnecessary reversals in appellate courts. As the administrative head of the state's judicial system, the chief justice oversees the operations of the court. The court invites interested individuals to submit comments or suggested revisions concerning the Alabama Canons of Judicial Ethics for review and update.
