The Urcean judicial branch of government is composed of a three-tiered court system, with each tier being divided into civil and criminal jurisdictions. Each tier of court serves as the appeals court for tiers below it. At the lowest tier are Diocesan courts, which serve the civil dioceses which serve as Urcea's basic low-level administrative subdivision. Above the Diocesan courts are subdivisional courts, whose name depends on the type of subdivision, be it a crownland, province, or state. The subdivisional courts are mostly referred to as "Supreme Court" or "Provincial Court". Above the subdivisional courts are the Conrudimental courts, courts which have jurisdiction over national cases and also hears cases where the two parties are from different provinces. Conrudiments are comprised of two to three provinces. The only major exception to the hierarchy is the Archducal Court of the [[Archduchy of Urceopolis]], which has no conrudimental association but is considered at least equal in level to the conrudimental courts. In practice, the Archducal court serves as the final court of appeals and effectively the nation's Supreme Court, competent to hear cases from across the nation regardless of its geographic location. The Judicial system is overseen and administered by the [[Ministry of Justice (Urcea)|Ministry of Justice]].
