Law Class Oral Exam – The Council of State and Administrative Judicial System

The scene is set in a law classroom where students are seated, and the tutor is standing at the front. The topic for today’s oral exam is the Council of State and the judicial system. A student, Alex, is called upon to answer questions.

Tutor: Good morning, everyone. Today, we’ll be discussing the Council of State and the judicial system in Turkey. Alex, could you please explain the role and structure of the Council of State?

Alex: Good morning, Professor. The Council of State acts as the high court for reviewing decisions made by administrative and tax courts. It also serves as the first and last instance court for specific cases defined by law. Currently, there are 12 chambers, including 1 administrative chamber and 11 litigation chambers. The cases are heard by a panel of 5 justices, with a presiding justice and four chamber members.

Tutor: Excellent, Alex. Now, let’s talk about the General Prosecution Office of the Council of State. What is its role and how is the General Prosecutor elected?

Alex: The General Prosecution Office works in association with the Council of State. The General Prosecutor is elected from among the members of the Council of State. This office is responsible for providing opinions on cases tried by the Council of State as the court of first instance. Council of State prosecutors also work within the General Prosecution Office.

Tutor: Very good. Now, let’s move on to the Regional Administrative Courts. What is their function and how are cases handled in these courts?

Alex: The Regional Administrative Courts review and decide on appeals against decisions made by administrative and tax courts. They also resolve jurisdictional conflicts between these courts. Cases in the Regional Administrative Courts are heard by a panel of 3 judges – a presiding judge and two member judges. Currently, there are eight Regional Administrative Courts operating across Turkey.

Tutor: Well done, Alex. Now, let’s delve into the Courts of First Instance – the Administrative Courts and the Tax Courts. Can you explain their general functions and how cases are handled in these courts?

Alex: Certainly, Professor. Administrative courts handle cases related to the annulment of administrative decisions and claims for damages caused by such decisions. They generally have a panel of 3 judges, but cases below a certain monetary threshold are ruled by a single judge. Tax courts, on the other hand, deal with cases related to the Law No. 6183 on the Collection of Public Receivables. Similar to administrative courts, they also have a panel of 3 judges, with the option of a single judge for cases below a certain monetary threshold.

Tutor: Excellent overview, Alex. You’ve provided a comprehensive understanding of the Council of State and the various components of the judicial system in Turkey. Well done!

The class applauds Alex for his detailed and well-articulated responses. The tutor continues the oral exam, engaging other students in the discussion.
