	All judges in Darmen are appointed for lifetime terms, though they may ~~voluntary~~ retire or resign at any time. They may not hold any other positions in political or civil life.

	The Court of Terrorism and Treason is a special court which only hears cases concerning terrorism and treason. It is made up of seven judges who are appointed by the President of the Republic, subject to Parliamentary approval. It has the lowest caseload of any of Darmen's courts, hearing on average just one case per year. Because of this, it is often considered a court of "semi-retirement" for older judges to sit on as a reward for previous service in other courts.
