Feme Trial - Feme Saiban (English spelling) Femegericht

Japanese: フェーメ裁判 - フェーメさいばん(英語表記)Femegericht
Feme Trial - Feme Saiban (English spelling) Femegericht
A unique type of trial that appeared in the Westphalia region of Germany and was particularly active between the 13th and mid-15th centuries. The court that carried out this trial was called the Vehme Tribunal. Vehme here means punishment, and this court was a type of criminal court directly under the king. It was also called the Secret Tribunal because it no longer had participation from the general public. Trials were conducted by one presiding judge and seven judges, who also functioned as accusers of suspects of crimes punishable by death.

Japanese:
ドイツのウェストファーレン地方に出現し,とくに13世紀から15世紀中葉までの間に大きな活動をなした特異な類の裁判。この裁判の担い手であった裁判所を〈フェーメ裁判所〉という。〈フェーメ〉とはここでは刑罰の意であり,この裁判所は,王直属の一種の刑事裁判所である。そこではもはや一般民衆の参加がないことから,〈秘密裁判所〉とも称される。1名の裁判長と7名の審判人とにより裁判が行われるが,審判人は,同時に,死刑相当の犯罪の容疑者の弾劾人として機能する。
