Quasi-Judicial Bodies

Quasi-Judicial Bodies gathers the entries in this subcategory that are not literal courts of law but bodies that exercise a similar judicial or adjudicative function: a kangaroo court, the pejorative term for a proceeding that disregards recognized standards of law or due process while imitating a real court's form, the general concept of a quasi-judicial body such as an arbitration panel or regulatory tribunal board that can interpret and apply law without being a court itself, and the Permanent Arbitration Court, an international arbitration institution rather than a national trial court. Grouped together here as the report itself flags, so these non-court entries do not sit unexplained among the genuine first-instance courts grouped elsewhere in this subcategory.
