Slab V - Court
1)	All patricians have the right to a fair trial, and know the charges against them.
2)	Trials are to be held in public so all patricians know the evidence and crime.
3)	The Praetor may only use his authority in punishing of those convicted.
4)	If someone is called to go to court, he is to go. If he doesn't go, then he should be captured.
5)	Only a landowner can offer collateral for another landowner. But any civis (citizen) can offer collateral for a civis.
6)	If one shall permit himself to be summoned as a witness, if he does not give his testimony, let him be noted as dishonest and incapable of acting again as witness.
7)	For matters where the Praetor is in doubt, but not so much so that they should be removed, the Senate should appoint another to oversee the trial and their decision abided by. If the Praetor is in great doubt he should retire from office so the patricians can elect another.
8)	For matters where the guilt of a person is without question, having been caught in the act of malicious action with forethought, no trial need be brought to the realm and the Praetor may decide based on the laws.
9)	Should a civis fail at a task and thus be labeled as unfit for duty, dishonest, shunned, lacking conviction, or any other state listed herein then the mark is to be placed in the national census for all to see.
10)	Should a civis have a label listed it can be removed by a Senatorial vote.
