If, owing to the nature of the crime, the general sentiment of the local people in the district, or due to any other circumstances, there is a concern that public safety will be disrupted if the case were to be tried by the court which has jurisdiction over it, the Prosecutor-General must request the Supreme Court to effect a change of jurisdiction.
犯罪の性質、地方の民心その他の事情により管轄裁判所が審判をするときは公安を害する虞があると認める場合には、検事総長は、最高裁判所に管轄移転の請求をしなければならない。
Supreme Court
最高裁判所
The highest court, and the court of last resort on whether any law, order, regulation or official act conforms to the Constitution (Article 76, paragraph (1), and Article 81). That power is what makes the Constitution enforceable: there is no penalty attached to breaching it, and instead a conflicting rule is held to have no legal force (Article 98, paragraph (1)). Its judges are reviewed by the people at the first general election after appointment, and again after ten further years (Article 79, paragraph (2)).
