Legacy:Praeco

Version 1

Date: 2008-03-18 18:37:37 GMT Author: Yair Comment: Initial version

Imposing some semblance of order to a Tribunal session requires a person to be in charge, and this role is served by the [[Praeco]]. The Praeco has extensive procedural authority over the conduction of the Tribunal session (see [[ArM5]] 14) and is appointed for life. This makes him perhaps the most politically influential person in the Tribunal. The different political factions in the Tribunal will usually try to remain in the Praeco's good graces, as an antagonistic Praeco can have a devastating affect on their interests in Tribunal. Perhaps due to the importance of this role, in most Tribunals the Praeco is simply the oldest member of the Tribunal (in the [[Rhine Tribunal]] the Praeco is always the [[Primus]] of [[House Bonisagus]]), which serves to eliminate political tensions over the appointment.
