Brazil Chile Colombia Ecuador ... Ukraine Brazil The Brazilian judiciary is divided into federal and state court systems. Both are subordinate to the Federal Supreme Court, which is the court of last instance in cases involving constitutional law. The federal system is composed of the courts of appeal, and, at the first instance, superior courts. Each state has its own constitution and establishes its own judiciary, and each has a court of appeals and courts of first instance. For this study, the state level courts in Brasilia and Sao Paolo with jurisdiction over commercial cases were examined. Federal Courts only have jurisdiction over commercial cases that involve the government. Chile At the top of Chile's judicial hierarchy sits the Supreme Court, which has original jurisdiction over certain constitutional and international claims, and acts as a court of cassation for the lower courts. Below it are the courts of appeals, (corte de apelaciones), and at the first instance are the Juzgados de letras, which have general jurisdiction over civil and criminal claims; and the specialized courts, which include labor, minors, police and military courts. In the larger cities, the Juzgados de letras specialize by subject matter into criminal and civil courts, while in smaller towns they act not only as criminal and civil courts, but as labor and minors courts as well. This study includes the first instance courts.
