The role is to decide questions of law.
<u>Explanation:
</u>
When Maine decided to split itself from Massachusetts in 1820, the High Court of Maine has been established.
The highest court is the supreme court of the Republic and is, therefore, the court reserved for final appeals. The Supreme Court is responsible for the decision on law matters, mainly arising from civil proceedings and criminal proceedings. It is served by seven judicial officers, headed by the Chief Justice.
The justices, after considering the questions raised, give their views on the subject in question and determine if the lower court's decision is true or not.
