Magia and the world, day 15

Are there separate civil and criminal courts? Is there a separate court or procedure for magical crimes? Are judges and other court officers required/forbidden to know magic?

Magia related crimes are tried before a mage's tribunal consisting of anywhere from five to seven mages and a judge, but they work the same way as a court of common law--the prosecution and defense each make their cases, then the mages decide, based on the evidence presented, whether the person committed the crime or not.

Judges and other court officials are allowed to know magia, and those with Time magia (either as an innate power or as an influence) are encouraged to help out in the courts.
