The high judge is referred to as "High Judge (last name) of the Royal reformed Court of (court)", the lower judges are referred to as "Judge (last name) of the Royal reformed Court of (court)". Judges are appointed for life by the king or queen.
Royal reformed Court of Crime

Royal reformed Court of Civil Cases
The Royal reformed Court of Civil Cases overhears cases involving suits between citizens of the RrSA. After the case is heard, the judges decide whom they are in support of and the portion of the value of the suit that the winner shall receive if he or she was the plaintiff.

The Royal reformed Court of the Rights of People overhears cases involving violations of the Rights of People. After the case is heard, the judges decide if the Rights of People has been violated. If it has been violated, a proper decision shall be reached to how the violation shall be removed.
Royal reformed Court of Inhumanity
The Royal reformed Court of Inhumanity overhears cases that involve acts of inhumanity. A defendant may be only brought before the RrCIH or he or she may be brought before both the RrCC and the RrCIH. An act of inhumanity does not have to violate any Royal reformed Law, it only must be excessively crule, painful, or inhumane. Doing absolutely nothing in front of an act of crulety may also be considered inhumane. After the case is heard the judges decide if the act was inhumane enough to deserve punishment. The punishment may be fines, prision sentences or any level of the act they inflicted, or did nothing to stop, short of endangering the convicted's life, or depriving he or she of it.
Ceremonial Trials
Any of the four Royal reformed Courts can overhere cases that are not under the jurisdiction of the RrSA or will never be able to be heard in what is called a "Ceremonial Trial". The right of the courts to do this was created in the Royal reformed King Wilary the First Decree Number Two. In these trials, all known information is brought forward to the judges overseeing the case. After all information is given to them, the judges debate the case until a six-sevenths majority is reached. If one cannot be reached after one day, the trial is considered to have ended in a "neutral" verdict. If a decision is reached, the judges announce their verdict. No punishment may be given in a ceremonial trial, but it can give the probable verdict in a case that cannot and may never be heard in a Royal reformed Court.
State Governments
Each Royal reformed State is responsible for the smaller issues that come up in the RrSA. A state is headed by a govenor who is ruler of the state and may pass any State reformed Decree that he or she wishes, that does not violate the Rights of People. A state may create departments to help oversee the responsabilities of the State reformed Governmant. The king or queen may pass a Royal reformed Decree to overrule a state decree. A govenor is to be referred to as "Govenor (last name) of the Royal reformed State of (state)". A govenor is elected by the people. The winner is the person with the majority of votes.
