The '''Hall of Judgement''' is the holy sanctum of the [[Adeptus Arbites]] on [Judge[Terra]]s, the agents of a law that is absolute and unforgiving. {{Fn|2}}  In the [[Imperium]], law and government are indistinguishable. Rebellion and failure are crimes, and any transgression of the Imperial Will meets with swift and uncompromising retribution. The Hall of Judgment contains the complete [[Book of Judgement]] of the [[Lex Imperialis]]. Volume upon leather-bound volume sits upon rows of iron shelves that fill its walls. Every row is of the Hall home to ten thousand tomes. Shelves are stacked volumes, the shelves soaring a hundred meters above metres up towards the vaulted ceilings􀀎 Over the ages,the Hall has been expanded and extended many times, so thatit is now an entire complex covering many acres, with milesof corridors, levels, and rooms􀀎 Scholars, scribes, and law lordspace the time-worn floor of marble floors, while above their heads,on the antique marble. Upon narrow gantries and ladders crawl that cover the tiny ant-shelf stackslike figures of a spider’s web, crawl legal assistants as they search amidst and low-rankingfunctionaries, searching through the debris detritus of judgementforweeks and months at a time to find just a single reference􀀎.{{Fn|2}} Every Adeptus Arbites Judge, at some point in his career,attempts a pilgrimage to the Hall of Judgement, there to studythe full intricacies of the law􀀎 Many spend long years there, forthe most heinous, subtle, or far-reaching crimes often require alengthy process of research to pass judgement􀀎.{{Fn|12}}
