Law and Order in Sekiya, Day 10

Are there judges other than the lord/king or landowner? If so, how are they paid, and by whom? How often are outlying areas likely to see a judge? Is "mob justice" common? Approved of or disapproved of?

Judges do exist--they are appointed by the rulers and paid by the bar about 50,000 gold a year (a pretty nice sum of cash in Sekiyan terms) Rural areas have their disputes heard by the ruling council, which collectively acts as a judge. "Mob justice" is frowned upon, and the guard is sent out if a crowd gets too unruly
