The Judges or Judex as they are known in High Rin are the supreme authorities when it comes to law. Anyone and Everyone (Save the Emperor and the High lords) can be tried by the Judges even members of the inquisition. Thus the Judges are seen as the main check to both the Inquisitions power and a check to the power of nobles and barons. The Judges are one of the most feared individuals within the empire as a whole.

Each planet is assigned a Judge who assigns his own Justice Ministers (Who are allowed to act in his name and serve as his eyes and ears upon the planet) and a series of Justice Clerks (Who serve under and help the Justice Minister) These judges wear mainly black as their robe color.

Each province is also assigned a Lord Judge who keeps an eye on the province as a whole and wears white robes.

Finally the homeworld is home to the grand jury upon which sit the Grand Judges (585 to be exact) they wear crimson and are some of the most powerful individuals within the empire each individual Grand Judge views over dozens of provinces and is the chief head of law within that area. They can be assembeled within the Imperial Court to proceed over the most grand and generally important trials (Normally of extremely high ranking officials or the damnation of an entire species or world)

The last type of judge is the most fearsome. They are the Militum Judges or more commonly known as the Battle Judges they are judges who forsake the robes and bureaucratic duties to fulfill the empire's quote of blood. They fight in the very heart of the empire's battles making sure that ever soldier does his job and that every enemy of the empire is slaughtered in necessary fashion. They are also the main Judges of all branches of the Rin military being just as mighty as the primuses in battle and just as iron willed when it comes to punishment.
