The Court of Jurisdictional Disputes (Turkish: Uyuşmazlık Mahkemesi, also translated as Court of Jurisdictional Conflicts) is one of the four higher courts in the Republic of Turkey. It is tasked with disputes between civil and administrative courts concerning their jurisdiction and judgments.[1] Before the abolishment of military courts in 2017, the court also looked at the disputes involving the military courts.[2]
