The judiciary of Jersey is a branch of the government of Jersey that interprets and applies the laws of Jersey, to ensure equal justice under law, and to provide a mechanism for dispute resolution.
 The Bailiff of Jersey is the President of the Royal Court (and also of the Court of Appeal).
 Individual trials are heard by the Bailiff, the Deputy Bailiff (also a full-time role) or a Commissioner.
 The Master of the Royal Court deals with some preliminary matters in civil cases.
 The Court is supported by the Judicial Greffier who acts as the Registrar.
 In addition to the judge, the Royal Court includes a number of volunteer Jurats.
 The Jurats decide issues of fact in criminal and civil trials (except criminal assizes, when a jury is present), hand down sentences in criminal trials and award damages in civil trials.
 All judges in Jersey are bound by a code of conduct, introduced in 2007, which requires them to "uphold the integrity and independence of the judiciary and perform their duties with competence, diligence and dedication".

Tun Muhammad bin Tun Ahmad, better known as Tun Sri Lanang, is the Bendahara (Grand Vizier) of the royal Court of Johor Sultanate who lived between the 16th and 17th centuries.
 He served under two Sultans of Johore namely; Sultan Ali Jalla Abdul Jalil Shah II (1570–1597) and Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah III (1597–1615) and also advisers to 3 Acheh sultans namely; Sultan Iskandar Muda (until 1636), Sultan Iskandar Thani (1636–1641) and Sultana Tajul Alam Safiatuddin Shah (1641–1675).
 He had two honorific titles throughout his lifetime; as the Bendahara of Johor, "Bendahara Paduka Raja Tun Mohamad", while he was given the title of "Orang Kaya Dato' Bendahara Seri Paduka Tun Seberang" after settling in Aceh.
Nakhon Noi briefly occupied the throne of Lan Xang from 1582–1583 on the death of his father Sen Soulintha, who himself had been appointed as a vassal to the Toungoo Empire from 1580-1582.
 Nakhon Noi took the regnal name "Samdach Brhat Chao Samdach Brhat Chao Negara Nawi Raja Sri Sadhana Kanayudha".
 Little is known about his brief rule, it does not appear in the sources that the Burmese were at the origin of his selection to succeed Sen Soulintha and were instead informed belatedly.
 If he had supporters in the royal court of Lan Xang they were few and quickly became unhappy with his rule.
 Within the year the royal court had petitioned King Nanda Bayin for his removal.
 According to various versions of the chronicles it is cited that Nakhon Noi “did not rule with fairness,” or keep to the religious and behavioral precepts which were traditionally required by a sovereign.
 Other versions record that he simply had made enemies at court, or was perceived as illegitimate because (like his father Sen Soulintha) he was of common origins.
 Either at the hands of the royal court, or the Burmese, Nakhon Noi was deposed, arrested, and returned to Pegu.
 After Nakhon Noi was deposed a period of interregnum occurred from 1583-1591 which historian Paul Le Boulanger describes as a period of “absolute confusion,” among the factions at court.
 The chronicles again agree that it was only after the period of succession crisis that a petition was finally sent in 1591 to Nanda Bayin by the Lao sangha and Lan Xang court asking for Prince No Muang, the son and legitimate heir of Setthathirath, to be appointed as king.
 Nanda Bayin confirmed the request and Prince No Muang would take the throne as Nokeo Koumane and reign Lan Xang from 1591-1596.
