The Urcean judicial system is comprised of a three-tiered court system, and each tier of court is divided into appeals, civil, and criminal divisions which share the same physical infrastructure as well as some personnel and judges. In this system, appeals work in a hierarchical manner, with each higher tier up being the appellate division for the lower courts. The lowest tier are the Diocesan Courts, which serve the [[Government_of_Urcea#Local_Government|civil dioceses]] that divide the country. These courts are the most common and typically are responsible for overseeing civil disputes between individuals or firms. Diocesan courts also oversee prosecution of petty and local crimes. The next highest tier is the thirty four subdivision-wide courts, whose name varies based on the [[Government_of_Urcea#Subdivisions|type of subdivision]], but the most common title is "Provincial Court" or "Supreme Court". The provincial court tries grave crimes and civil cases where the parties are from different lower jurisdictions. The third tier of courts are called the "''conrudimental courts''", with conrudiments being comprised of two to three provinces. The conrudimental courts are responsible for trying violations of national crimes as well as civil cases with parties originating from different provinces; if a civil case involves parties from different conrudiments, the [[Ministry of Justice (Urcea)|Ministry of Justice]] is responsible for choosing which conrudimental court will try the case. Within The two autonomous states have conrudimental courts entirely coterminous with the respective states. The Archducal Court of the [[Archduchy of Urceopolis]] serves as the nation's highest appeals court as a [[Prime court|prime court]] and does not exist within any of the conrudiments. | |||
