Quick Summary

The Daishin-in was the predecessor to the Supreme Court of Japan, established in 1875 and reorganized in 1890 under the Meiji Constitution. Unlike the current Supreme Court, the Daishin-in lacked independence and could not rule on the constitutionality of laws. The Supreme Court of Japan, created in 1947, is Japan's highest court and has the power of judicial review, meaning it can determine if laws and administrative decisions are constitutional. It is composed of 15 justices and is responsible for judicial administration and legal training.1
