Welcome to the Republic of New Lemuria Judicial Branch of
Government!
The

Judicial power of the Republic is vested in its Supreme Court, and in
such inferior courts as the House may from time to time ordain and
establish. The Republic of New Lemuria Supreme Court is under the administration of
its Chief Justice, who is Constitutionally responsible for all cases, in
law and equity, arising under the Constitution, the laws of the
Republic, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their
authority; to all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers
and consuls; to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction; to
controversies to which the Republic shall be a party.

The term “bar
association” originated in the 18th century, recognizing the railing or
“bar” in a courtroom, separating spectators from lawyers and the judge,
who occupies the “bench.” Many members of the Republic of New Lemuria Bar
Association actively practice law under Republic of New Lemuria law throughout the
world, while the rest retain their licenses as inactive members. To
practice law in Republic of New Lemuria, applicants must pass the Republic of New Lemuria Bar
Examination and pay their annual membership fees to the Republic of New Lemuria Bar
Association. Created by an act of legislature in 1997, the Republic of New Lemuria Bar is an autonomous department within the judicial branch of
government, serving as an arm of the Republic of New Lemuria Supreme Court. All
Republic of New Lemuria Bar members are officers of the court. Over the years, the
Republic of New Lemuria Bar has continually responded to the demands of a changing
society, educating and informing both its members and the public.
