High Court of Justice of Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla
The High Court of Justice of Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla (, TSJA), is the highest court of Andalusia, and for the Spanish autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla. Its seat is the former Royal Chancery of Granada. The TSJA has full power over all the jurisdictional orders: civil and penal law, social law, administrative disputes, and any other orders that may be created in the future. The TSJA is the final jurisdictional court of all trials initiated in the autonomous community of Andalusia and the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla, and is the final appeal court for all legal processes that occur in those areas, whatever law is invoked as applicable, in accord with the Organic Law of Judicial Power and without prejudice to the powers reserved to the Supreme Court. History of the High Court The TSJA was created as provided for in Article 7 of the original (1981) Statute of Autonomy of Andalusia. In the first ordinary session of the Parliament of Andalusia, Granada was chosen as the seat of the TSJA, making that city the judicial capital of Andalusia; Seville is the political capital. The TSJA was constituted in 1989. This superseded the old Audiencias Territoriales
