Trentino: Difference between revisions

Line 166:

Trentino's judges and justices who make up the state's judicial system are elected by a majority vote in both the Chamber and Senate with approval from the governor, one of the ways Trentino's executive has more power than its legislative, although the General Assembly is able to overrule the governor with a majority vote in both houses. Judicial authority rests with the [[Trentino Supreme Court]] (TRESCO) and [[Court of Appeals of Trentino]] (COAT). In addition, there are smaller courts that have more limited geographical jurisdiction, including Circuit Courts, the trial courts of general jurisdiction, and the lower Superior Courts, which house Juvenile and Domestic Relations Courts and General District Courts. The Supreme Court has seven justices who serve twelve-year terms, with a mandatory retirement age of 75. The supreme court selects its own Chief Justice from among its seven justices, who is limited to no more than a twelve-year term as Chief.

The state is divided into 18 counties across the three grand divisions. Counties in Trentino have their own elected legislative branch, usually called the Board of Supervisors, which usually also has executive authority in the county. Trentino's constitution provides all counties and cities with "{{wp|home rule}}" authority. The county boards have considerable power to pass legislation within their county, similar to how cities would.

Trentino recognizes all local units of government as cities, so all incorporated towns are legally cities by virtue of state law, regardless of enumerated title. Trentino does not provide for independent cities or {{wp|consolidated city-county}} governments, and townships no longer have legal status, although many areas still bear the signage of the towns that once stood and were dissolved instead of becoming cities.

The state's grand divisions–Upper Trentino, Middle Trentino, and Lower Trentino, are three geographic regions, each constituting roughly one-third of the state's length, that are geographically, culturally, legally, and economically distinct. A majority of the state's population resides in Lower Trentino, within the three counties of [[Valencia|Metro Valencia]].
