The '''Supreme Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan''' is the [[supreme court|highest]] of three levels of courts of [[Kazakhstan]], sitting above regional appeals courts, and city or district courts (courts of [[original jurisdiction|first instance]]). The Supreme Judicial Council recommends nominee Supreme Court judges to the [[President of Kazakhstan]]; the president then submits the nominees to the [[Senate of Kazakhstan]] for a vote of confirmation.<ref>{{citation|publisher=[[Baker & McKenzie]]|title=Doing Business in Kazakhstan|chapter=The Judicial System and Dispute Resolution|pages=86–92|url=http://www.bakermckenzie.com/files/Publication/2d76f550-a79e-42e0-86f9-4fbb6b41b29e/Presentation/PublicationAttachment/9d725d0c-77de-4b4d-a400-3a693aadddc9/bk_kazakhstan_dbi_10.pdf|year=2010}}</ref>

==History==
Under the original constitution of Kazakhstan in 1993, there were three high courts: the Constitutional Court (Конституционный суд), the Arbitration Court (Высший Арбитражный суд), and the Supreme Court.<ref name="Daumov">{{citation|url=http://www.aktobesot.kz/ru/news/873|publisher=Aktobe Oblast Court|title=Становление и развитие судебной системы в Республике Казахстан|date=2011-02-19|accessdate=2011-04-26|last=Daumov|first=Daurenbek}}</ref> In 1995, the new constitution, along with the new presidential decree "On the courts and the status of courts in the Republic of Kazakhstan" altered the structure of the judiciary and decreased the executive branch's power over it; the Arbitration Court was eliminated entirely, while the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court were separated more clearly.<ref name="Daumov"/><ref>{{citation|series=Указ Президента, имеющий силу Конституционного закона|title=О судах и статусе судей в Республике Казакхстан|date=1995-12-20|number=2694|url=http://www.pavlodar.com/zakon/?dok=00154&ogl=all|accessdate=2011-04-26}}</ref>

In April 2011, the Senate removed six Supreme Court judges, and further recommended that Chairman Alimbekov resign.<ref name="Zakon">{{citation|url=http://www.zakon.kz/209607-predsedatelju-verkhovnogo-suda.html|periodical=Zakon|title=Председателю Верховного Суда Казахстана рекомендовано подать в отставку|last=Tashkinbaev|first=Renat|date=2011-04-14|accessdate=2011-04-20}}</ref>
