Head Magistrate

The Head Magistrate is the supreme judge of a province, ruling over all of the courts contained within each city regardless of the standing of another Judge within the city. The Head Magistrate is typically elected after half a century of service as a Judge or Tribune of the People and is responsible for overseeing any cases which require a double jeopardy, as well as any which border on becoming a national case.

Duties and Responsibilities
While responsible for all of the legal proceedings of the cities contained within any one province, the Head Magistrate acts as the supreme representative of law and order within a province, especially when speaking to the governor of an area. The Head Magistrate works tirelessly to enable a province to maintain its standing as an entity separate from the direct rule of the Thalassian State so long as the body of governance within does not surpass federal laws or regulations.

The Head Magistrate himself is tasked with providing all legal information to the Thalassian State concerning the province on an annual basis, as well as serving the D'lanastion Monarchy by maintaining the status quo.
