Line 93:
The judiciary enforces laws, settles disputes and carries out justice. The judiciary is structured according to the following hierarchy:
 
The supreme court is the highest court. It makes sure that laws follow the [[Daschtan]]. It is the final court for appeals on any matter. It sits in the capitol.
 
Each zone has a high court which is usually divided among major cities of that zone. It receives appeals.
Local courts conduct trials. They are scattered everywhere there is a [[Jasim]]. The presiding judge is the elected Jasim judge.

The judicial system follows a mix between the Daschtan and Ziaraa traditional law. A single judge uses common sense, statutes, precedent, and the Daschtan to decide on a case. Adversaries must appear in person to the court and have to cross examine eachother and any witnesses if applicable. Legal representation is forbidden, only those directly involved may appear in court. Indirect involvement must be given in the form of written evidence or otherwise.
