Supreme Court of Judicature of Japan

The Supreme Court of Judicature (大審院, Dai-shin'in) was the highest judicial body in the Empire of Japan.

The court was composed of 120 judges in both civil and criminal divisions.

It was abolished by order of the American occupation authorities in 1947, after the abolition of the Meiji Constitution.

The building of the Supreme Court of Judicature was gutted by American air raids during the bombing of Tokyo in World War II.

The present Tokyo High Court was built on its former location.
