It also mandates a minimum of 150 representatives, apportioned among the representative districts. The state currently sits at the legally defined number of 50 senators and 150 representatives, each of whom serve two year terms with no limit. The states laws are codified as the Milan Statutes. Milan's law mirrors heavily off of [[Verona]]'s law (although the laws of the states does tend to vary quite a bit with Milan having more Levantine influence early on), and the common set of laws and regulations between Milan, [[Lombardia]], [[Porta Bianca]], and Verona is commonly known as "Commonwealth Law". | ||
Milan's judges and justices who make up the commonwealth's judicial system are elected by a majority vote in both the Chamber and Senate without input from the governor, one of the ways Milan's legislature has more power than its executive.

In addition, there are smaller courts which have more limited geographical jurisdiction, including Circuit Courts, the trial courts of general jurisdiction, and the lower Superior Courts, which house Juvenile and Domestic Relations Courts and General District Courts. The Supreme Court has seven justices who serve twelve-year terms, with a mandatory retirement age of 75. The supreme court selects its own Cheif Justice from among their seven justices, who is limited to no more than a twelve-year term as Chief. | Milan's judges and justices who make up the commonwealth's judicial system are elected by a majority vote in both the Chamber and Senate without input from the governor, one of the ways Milan's legislature has more power than its executive.
