Judicial
The Federation of Xaristan employs a unique judiciary system, but one that our people endorse. Our Supreme Court is made up of nine [9] individuals. Four are appointed by the government, and five are elected by the people on a rotating basis every two years (each justice serves a ten year term, so there is a new, people-elected justice every two years). While justices elected by the people can serve multiple terms, those appointed by the government can only serve one, ten year term. However, after they are done with government service, the justices can be elected by the people, if they so choose. This Supreme Court reviews all decisions by the Federation and the People’s House (our legislatures). They do not review those decisions made by Emperor Harland. All court decisions at this level are final.
There are three other rungs of judicial support, before getting to the Supreme Court. The lowest level is our city courts. These are where all court cases start. There are three branches to each city court: civil, misdemeanor, and felony. All justices are elected by the people.
Above the city courts are our regional courts. There are ten of these courts, each with approximately the same number of citizens within it. They hear cases that have been appealed at the city court level. These justices are elected by the populace of their region.
The last rung before the Supreme Court is the Xaristinian Circuit Court. The court has seven [7] justices on it and all are appointed by the Emperor.
