== Jurisprudence (''Shureeh'') ==

Paxist jurisprudence known as ''Shureeh'' refers to the body of religious law (''leKhanon aPaxashme'') of Paxism. It consists of Bulls (''Fataw'') which are issued and recognised by the Magisterium of Paxism. These bulls are regarded as binding interpretations of scripture arising from scholarly research and exegesis of the [[Writings of Paxism]]. Bulls are required to be peer reviewed and must be issued by a recognised Magister. They can be revoked by the same Magister or by a higher ranked Magister. Paxist jurisprudence entails both substantive and procedural law.

The jurisprudence of Paxism is not uniform or cohesive. Bulls issued by a Magister typically applhave binding effect within the area of their geographic jurisdiction and persuasive effect beyond that. Thus, there can be Bulls which differ significantly on the interpretation of scripture. This separation in the geographic jurisdiction was created to prevent opinions in the increasingly diverse and geographically distributed religion from dividing due to differences in ideology and circumstances. Furthermore, the Council of Great Magisters and Supreme Magister have been reluctant to rule on conflicting jurisdictions and it has preferred not to certify many Bulls, relegating many of them to Opinions.
