WHEREAS , The Uppermost Cort is the only judicial body in the RT, and
WHEREAS , A provision exists in Article XV: Section 1 providing for the establishment of a Lower Cort, and
WHEREAS , Differing geographic regions and work or school commitments prevent timely communication between the Uppermost Cort Justices and its petitioners, and
WHEREAS , The creation of a Lower Cort would expedite the judicial process, and allow the Uppermost Cort to act as an appellate body in addition to its current role,
THEREFORE, The Ziu creates a Lower Cort to be presided over by one Justice. The Seneschal initially appoints this Justice.
This Justice will then be required to run in an annual election for this Judgeship.
The Lower Cort Justice may not be a member of the Uppermost Court.
All matters Judicial will first be presented to the Lower Cort and ruled on by the Lower Cort Justice.
If appellate action is taken against a Lower Cort ruling, all evidence, written arguments and Lower Cort Findings will be forwarded to the Uppermost Cort for consideration.
