The Supreme Court of North Carolina is the highest court in the state, with no further appeal available for matters of state law. Comprised of the Chief Justice and six associate justices, each serving an eight-year term, the court does not have a jury and does not make determinations of fact. Instead, it focuses on reviewing whether errors occurred during trial or in the interpretation of the law by the judiciary. The court provides various services and resources, including slip opinions written by the justices, calendars of oral arguments, searchable dockets, eFiling capabilities, access to the Supreme Court Library, and publication of opinions and case summaries. Additionally, the court maintains a collection of portraits of former justices and follows rules of practice, procedure, and conduct. The Supreme Court Clerk's Office can be contacted for further information or assistance.Generated from the website
