Cour constitutionnelle, Constitutional court in Rabat, Morocco
The Cour constitutionnelle is Morocco's highest court for constitutional matters, located in Rabat. It reviews whether new laws conform to the constitution and confirms the validity of national elections and referendums.
The court was created in 2011 as part of a broad constitutional reform, replacing the former Constitutional Council. The change gave the institution a stronger role in overseeing laws and electoral processes.
The Court maintains twelve members, with six appointed by the King and six elected by the Chamber of Representatives and Chamber of Counselors.
The court publishes its rulings and opinions on its website, making them available to anyone who wants to consult official constitutional decisions. Those interested in Moroccan law can browse the documents without needing any special access.
The court's 12 members each serve a single nine-year term with no possibility of renewal, which means the composition changes on a regular cycle. Six members are appointed by the King and six are elected by the two chambers of parliament.
