The Supreme Court of Georgia (Georgian: საქართველოს უზენაესი სასამართლო, romanized: sakartvelos uzenaesi sasamartlo) represents the court of the highest and final administration of justice in the country. It was established in 2005 as the cassation instance court. It is located in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, in a building designed by Aleksander Szymkiewicz and built in 1894.^[1]

The Supreme Court oversees the administration of justice at common courts. Its activities are to be guided by the principles of legality, collective nature, publicity, equality of parties and competitiveness, as well as the irremovability, immunity and independence of judges.

The Supreme Court of Georgia considers claims on judgments made by the Courts of Appeal.^[2] It supports the introduction of the unified interpretation of the law and the establishment of common judicial practice.

Through the substantiated clarification and comparison of legal norms and by establishing court practice,^[3] the Court of Cassation is intended to ensure prompt and streamlined functioning of the judiciary.
