New Republic Justice Department
The NRJD is an executive department of the Ministry of State. It is split into three branches: judicial, prosecutorial, and defence. All three work to serve truth, the law and order. Judicial Officers that hear cases and the Republic Counselors that prosecute cases on behalf of the New Republic must be confirmed by the Senate. A defence counselor will be appointed if a defendant cannot obtain another.
Judicial Officers, or judges, hear cases on behalf of the New Republic. They impartially hear evidence, rule on matters of procedure, and independently determine the outcome of cases. Some serve as mediators, working to prevent conflicts from escalating to crimes.
Prosecuting counselors, known as Republic Counselors, are the New Republic state attorneys. They work with the Associate Minister for the public interest through presenting advocacy and prosecuting criminal cases on behalf of the New Republic.
Defence counselors independently represent their clients to the best of their ability, ensuring defendants' fair say. Defence counselors on staff are appointed to serve the defendant's interests when a defendant does not obtain private representation. Some volunteer their services to clients unable to find other representation.
