Judicial and Constitutional Bodies

A court or tribunal, domestic or international, that adjudicates law or constitutional questions, the judicial branch of Montesquieu's separation of powers. Belongs here: the Supreme Court of the United States, a national Constitutional Court, the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, the International Military Tribunal, and the Court of Justice of the European Union. Does not belong here: the legal instrument a court rules on, such as a treaty or statute, which per this atlas's DataBrief seam is Law's canonical content, linked here only as implemented-through, authorized-by, constrained-by or challenged-under, never duplicated.
