MINISTRY OF LAW RIGHTS​

MINISTER OF LAW:

• The right to propose laws, whether that be new ones or alterations of existing ones, to the Crown.
• The right to employ & dismiss Justicars at will.
• The right to organize Inquests, & work with the State Metropolitan when it comes to trials.
• The right to hold inquests & trials.
• The right to approve inquested citizens who prove their worth to the Great Way & the Empire.

If a new Minister of Law is appointed, all Reprieves are considered null & void, except those granted Soulburdened Status by the Princes and/or Emperor.

JUSTICARS:

• The right to hold inquests & trials.
• The right to deny citizens of an inquest.
• The right to recommend a citizen to the Minister of Law for approval.

SCRIBES:

• The right to record a trial or inquest's proceedings through a journal & pen.

INQUESTS​

What are Inquests?
This is a way for someone who is illegally Afflicted to request a reprieve & provide explicit value to the Empire and/or the Great Way. The Afflicted is expected to contact the Minister of Law (whether in person or in letter in the case of banned Afflictions), who will then arrange a date with fellow Justicars.

At such Inquest, the Afflicted will be questioned in any way by the Justicar present - regarding disposition, morality, et-cetera. Following this, the Prosecution will go first, presenting evidence, testimonies & witnesses regarding the Afflicted.

The defense will then be allowed to bring forth their argument in support of the Afflicted. They will similarly have the power to provide evidence, testimony and witnesses.

Finally, a judgment will be passed by the Justicar, which will either recommend approval from the Law Minister, or reject the proposal of the speaker. This will end the formal proceedings of the Inquest.

If the speaker is illegally Afflicted, they have exactly seven hours to leave the courtroom and to find their way away from the streets of Regalia in order to give them a chance to hide away once more in Boroughs or in the sewers.

These are not to be scheduled in less than 5 days from the date the Afflicted schedules it on.
For example, if you talk to her Eminence about scheduling such on January 25th,
it will have to be January 30th or later. No earlier. No exceptions (Both on an IC & OOC level).

​

ILLEGAL AFFLICTIONS​

The Crown Regent has identified the following distinctions below as 'particular entities of threat & imminent danger to the Great Way & the Empire in being'. These entities remain universally banned in the City of Regalia (the law does not apply to Boroughs, such as Crookback or Fairbanks) unless given reprieve by the Ministry of Law:

• Vampire
• Cahal
• Geist
• Undead

Reprieve granted to one person of a particular surname, grants reprieve to all persons of that surname, with responsibility of good conduct levied on the holder of the reprieve.

The Crown Regent has identified the following as 'particular entities of medium threat & imminent aggravation to the Great Way & the Empire in being', these entities are Legal with stipulations:

• Silven

However, these stipulations are:

• A. These particular entities are not to be employed by an individual, business or organization without a reprieve by the Ministry of Law.
• B. These particular entities are not entitled to property ownership or personal property rights or citizenship classification, though will be protected as domestic aliens as defined by Residency (thus banning any violence committed upon them without reason).

Additionally, this Residency qualification is rendered null and void if such a person is employed by the State Military or State Metropolitan. Marken are not officially recognized by the State, though please refer to Regalian Law.

​

TRIALS​

Following the precedent of the second & former Minister of Law, Jonathan Braunschweiger, the Minister of Law states that the Ministry of Truth will be reserved to elect one official to send to any trial, to act as a Truth Counselor.

The Truth Counselor's rights:

• To evaluate evidence or witness statements based on truthfulness, and potentially disregard them.
• To act as an advisor to the Justicar &/or the Minister of Law.

The Civil Court will be set once the Lord Commissioner requests the Minister of Law to assign a Justicar to preside over a trial, or if a prisoner has broken High Law or Capital Law.

After discussion & arrangements, the Minister of Law will then announce a trial date - with the consent of both the Justicar & Speaker in question.

The court proceedings will begin once the Justicar steps into their pulpit and announces the opening of court. There may or may not be a jury depending on the opinion of the Justicar. The Justicar will ask for the Defense to step up to the Plea Maker's stand and for the Prosecution to step up to the Accuser stand. The witnesses will be asked to sit in the witness benches.

The defense will begin by having the speaker state their plea before having the rest of the defense support their statement. The prosecution will then be called up by the Justicar to counter the claims of the defense. The defense will then be given the chance to counter the prosecution's remarks. Witnesses will be called by the prosecution or defense during their time to question them.

The Justicar will step back into the deliberation room when they are ready to make a decision and will go over all information presented. When they have done so, they will step out onto the pulpit and explain their decision. The Justicar will then close the court and dismiss all in it.

These are not to be scheduled in less than 5 days from the date the Speaker schedules it on.
For example, if you talk to her Eminence about scheduling such on January 25th,
it will have to be January 30th or later. No earlier. No exceptions (Both on an IC & OOC level).

OVERVIEW

The Adjudicator Investigation Unit works alongside the Ministry of Law.
They act as a bridge between the City & the Boroughs, investigating the issues inside the Borough &
between them. They are able to support either side depending on circumstance rather than social status.
It investigates corruption & criminal cases, organizing trials between the Ministry of Law & the charters of the Metropolitan.

The Adjudicator Investigation Unit's objective is to investigate and document criminal cases, city organizations, and the Metropolitan.
While the Investigation Unit has no authority to decide how someone is punished, and no authority to divvy out punishments themselves,
they do reserve the right to follow-up these investigations by imparting an unbiased full report on the subject matter to the Law Minister
for use in trial, legal action, or otherwise.

The people serving in this Unit always report to her Eminence, Suzenvaela Felaadar bel-Evalond.
If she is not available, then they must report to any of her Justicars.​
