The Palacio de Justicia in Lima, the headquarters of the Supreme Court.

The supreme court is composed of three Supreme Sectors:

• Civil Sector: Presides over all topics related to civil rights and commercial law.
• Criminal Sector: Presides over all topics relating to criminal law
• Constitutional and Social Sector: Presides over all topics relating to constitutional rights and labor law

Integrated into the Supreme Court are the Supreme Speakers and Supreme Provisionary Speakers, who substitute the Supreme Speakers in case of absence. The Supreme Speakers are distributed into each one of the Supreme Sectors that the law establishes. The President of the Supreme Court and the Chief Speaker of the Office of the Control of the Magistrature are not integrated into any Supreme Sector. The Supreme Court consists of three permanent Supreme Sectors (Civil, Criminal, and Constitutional and Social). Each Supreme Sector has five Supreme Speakers who elect a president within each other.
