Court of the Star Chamber
Justice is currently dispensed to the best capacity of the Common Law. Yet, proceedings are tediously slow as they rely on precedent and the decisions of judges. Certain cases take weeks, if not months, before a verdict is reached. There are calls for a secondary judiciary court with a certain degree of flexibility in its procedures, allowing it to handle cases considered too sensitive or complex for ordinary law courts. However, a potential but modest effect could be the extension of the Crown power, suppressing opposition, and punishing dissent when needed.

595historical_info = flavor_eng.5.historical_info The Court of Star Chamber emerged from the meetings of the king's Privy Council, gradually gaining significance during the reign of Henry VII. Its name originated from the star pattern adorning the ceiling of Westminster Palace, where it convened. In 1487, the Court was established as a distinct judicial body, separate from the Council, tasked with hearing petitions for redress.
