Soshi Saibankan (TCG)

Soshi Saibankan and Emerald Champion Doji Hatsuo reformed and codified Imperial Law dueing the reign of Hantei Genji. These laws had been formulated by the Kami Hantei, but judges around the Empire varied in their ability to apply them. Until the middle of the second century, many conflicts among samurai were settled with iaijutsu duels. By issuing annotated versions of the original laws, Hatsuo and Saibankan made it possible for magistrates in every part of the Empire to hand down consistent rulings. They also realized they needed enforcers to mete out justice fairly and predictably, and together they created the system of the Emerald Magistrates. These individuals, who were always samurai, were officials with Imperial writs of authority to investigate crimes and pass judgments on criminals.
