Coscivian law: Difference between revisions

- '''Crimes Against the System''' - Crimes such as judicial corruption, perjury, jury intimidation, witness intimidation/tampering, evidence tampering, perfidy, treason, usurpation, et al. that undermine the fundamental trusts an mechanisms upon which Lawful civil order depends carry severe punishments, in most cases death until modern times. The death penalty is still applicable and applied for many such crimes in many such cases, but other severe (if less permanent) punishments are on hand as well.

- '''Judicial Consensus''' - Case law is made not through precedent but rather through a process in which a holding that gets cited often enough by other judges may be ruled to represent consensus by a “third” judge. It is possible for a superior court to overturn such a ruling of consensus. Only the Federal Consistory or (in theory) the Emperor himself can overturn their own rulings of consensus.
