Court of Herubake

Court of Herubake. For the judgement of guilt and for the punishment. If guilt is admitted a standard punishment is issued for the crime, but if it is not then if found guilty, the crime doer is subject to special punishment. There is a list of exact punishments for crimes.   The Court system is similar to that of real world America, with one large difference: the jury is not public, it is the actual job of the jury members to do what they do. There is a pool of on-call jury members to judge each case who are selected from randomly, with the obvious exemption of friends and family of those related to the case (though they way they are eliminated from being on the jury is purely honour based, one can lie and say they are not a friend of the person on trial and get on the jury).
