Russian term or phrase: уставной суд
Уставной суд, который возглавляет декан юридического факультета N университета, рассмотрел "дела N" в ответ на запрос депутатов муниципального образования "N".

I see a number of cities in Russia have such courts to review a variety of issues relating to statutes, but I haven't been able to come up with a good term for this. As always, I appreciate any help my colleagues can offer.

Remedios has another choice, which is also used, namely \"Charter Court\", although I believe \"Statutory\" is more commonly used, certainly in the States.

Charter Court


Explanation:
УставнЫй суд административно-территориальной единицы осуществляет толкование устава такой единицы и рассматривает дела о соответствии уставу законов, постановлений,
нормативных актов органов местного самоуправления.

По аналогии с Constitutional Court предлагаю перевести так.

Подумала и решила, что таки написала бы

Constitutional Court of, say, Sverdlovsk.

I still think this is not a statutory court. \"Statutory\" means created by statute, while уставный суд interprets and enforces the constitution of a constituent entity.

Constituent Court?

Or something like this, I believe

И совсем необязательно всегда при переводе предпочитать американский вариант. Это только американцы думают, что у них всегда все самое правильное. А на самом деле существует (хотят они этого или нет), несколько английских языков, в т.ч. и Европейский английский, в котором много заимствований из других языков Европы. И на нем тоже много чего пишется.
