The most recent change to the institution came in 2017 when the nomination method changed again. Judges are now nominated by the Prime Minister, require support from 25 Congresspersons prior to their nomination being voted on by Congress, where a simple majority is needed.

In addition to serving as a "court of last resort" and as a determiner of constitutional legality, the Supreme Court also tried cases involving the most important matters in the Interstellar Republic, such as that of First Minister Vormaw Hoksa, who they called before them over charges of corruption, and Senator Xzavier Glade upon being indicted for committing high treason. The Court also had the power to issue subpoenas and writs.
