They are responsible for ruling on the law. They make decisions regarding whether or not the law was broken and how an offender should be punished.
Grounds for Removal/Dismissal
Generally, they serve for life. However, the Seragents or Captain can call for a Fitness for Duty Review. This is the process in which the Seragents or Captain can challenge the Judge's ability to perform their duties. They present their case before the Officers who then vote to either maintain the Judge or to Annul their appointment. If the Judge is Anulled, a new Judge is then promoted into the position.
