[Across the Zodiac by Percy Greg]@TWC D-Link bookAcross the Zodiac CHAPTER XXIV - WINTER 12/37
The judges, for instance, of the lower rank are selected by the principal judge of each dominion; these and their immediate assistants, by the Chief of the highest Court.
The officers around and under the Governor of a province are named by the Regent of the dominion; those surrounding the Regent, as the Regent himself, by the Sovereign.
Every officer, however, can be removed by his immediate superior; but it depends on the chief with whom his appointment rests, whether he shall be transferred to a similar post elsewhere or simply dismissed.
Thus, while no man can be compelled to work with instruments he dislikes, no subordinate is at the mercy of personal caprice or antipathy. Promotion, judicial and administrative, ends below the highest point. The judges of the Supreme Court are named by the Sovereign--with the advice of a Council, including the Regents, the judges of that Court, and the heads of the Philosophic and Educational Institutes--from among the advocates and students of law, or from among the ablest administrators who seem to possess judicial faculties.
The code is written and simple.
