Patrician-class: Expanded Rights

1: Patricians accused of wrong-doing have the inalienable right to a private trial with no civilians present. The High Arbiter, the Bailiff, the Scribe, (one) Eye and any members of the Cabinet who wish to view the proceedings.

These defined individuals are the only ones allowed to be present, in addition to the prosecutor, one individual designated as defense if required and the accuser.

Witnesses brought forward for either the defense or the prosecution, one way or the other, are not allowed in the courtroom. They must wait outside, in the lobby, until called for. Then depart afterwards.

Any and all punishments rendered against the patrician, if convicted of wrong-doing, must be kept private unless the matter concerns the wholeness and security of the Kingdom of Cordor, as defined by the High Arbiter or a represenative thereof.

2: Patricians have the right to request security detachments if they feel it needed from the Eyes for short durations.

3: Patricians have the right to make accusations of wrong-doing, remaining anonymous to the defendant(s). This privacy is only guaranteed in patrician-vs-plebian situations.
