◦What are considered normal and legal ways of gathering evidence and determining guilt? Is torture allowed? Are arbitrary judgments by the lord or landowner allowed, or is there an independent standard of justice?
Questioning and gathering evidence are the main ways of determining guilt. Torture, meanwhile, can be used as a punishment, but not as a way of forcing someone to confess (Shokiyans also believe in the innocent until proven guilty rule). There is a standard of justice, so if a lord made an arbitrary judgement, the only way the person would be punished is if the judge agreed with the lord
