The Constitution of Haiti[1] stipulates that Supreme Court justices are appointed by the President from a list submitted by the Senate of three persons per court seat.[2] It is unsure whether they are appointed for 10 years (Art. 174 says so) or for life (Art. 177 says so).
Palais de Justice[edit]
The Palais de Justice[3] (the Supreme Court building) was heavily damaged and partially collapsed as a result of the 2010 Haiti earthquake.[4]
