Other Juridical Organs
Some bodies involved in the administration or the enforcement
of justice were situated outside the regular court system. For
example, the Supreme Council of Judicial Authorities was an administrative
body that coordinated and supervised the various courts. It also
established the salaries and seniority rules for judges, whom
it could transfer or retire. The Council of State, much like the
French Conseil d'Etat, delivered advisory legal opinions for government
bodies regarding draft legislation and other actions or regulations
it was contemplating, as well as contract negotiations in which
it might be involved. It also included an administrative court
to provide relief in civil cases involving arbitrary or otherwise
unfair administrative decisions.
