Warlaws

The Warlaw is the highest field authority of the Palatin jurisdiction. Given their importance, (and the tendency of generals to want to get rid of them), the Warlaw is very well protected. However the law dictates that under any circumstances, should the Warlaw die, the army to which it is attached will surrender and retreat, regardless of who is responsible for its death. This latter fact makes Warlaws a prime target for commanders seeking a quick victory at the risk of a war crime. On the field, Warlaws command Justiciars.
== Role ==
Warlaws provide legal advice to commanders at bases and in front operations, act as judges in on site legal proceedings and provide the legal framework within which assault and defense lawyers who defend accused persons at courts martial may operate. They also often teach courses to full time soldiers and advise commanding officers in an operational theater to uphold the ethical and legal principles established by Palatin jurisprudence but also other legal sources.
Warlaws typically run Military Prosecution Services within bases, and act as independent military judges within the legal branch of the Dalmer military.
