A Me'dece is for trying more serious crimes, up to ABH offences. Sexual offences, GBH and murder are all tried in a Gra'dece court.

Operation

A Me'dece can be found in every town of more than 50 000 people. It is operated by a judge who is more experienced than one in a Pe'dece, having:

  • A Law qualification of ASL or higher.
  • 10 years or more of experience in law.
  • A clean criminal record.

The judge may hold a trial alone, but an offender can pled to be tried by a jury of 16 people, if he wishes. He can be appointed a state lawyer, or find one of his own.
