The Corporate Sector Authority's legal system is unlike most in the galaxy. The Authority, as a corporation, tries to avoid the appearance of being a government whenever possible. The rights of citizenship are purchased or bestowed as fringe benefits, and few personal freedoms are guaranteed. Ensuring the orderly conduct of business comes first and does require rules, so legal codes and procedures have been established to make sure that business continues on unhindered.

  • The Corporate Sector Authority's legal system is unlike most in the galaxy. The Authority, as a corporation, tries to avoid the appearance of being a government whenever possible. The rights of citizenship are purchased or bestowed as fringe benefits, and few personal freedoms are guaranteed. Ensuring the orderly conduct of business comes first and does require rules, so legal codes and procedures have been established to make sure that business continues on unhindered. Though disagreements between companies are common, criminal prosecutions are exceedingly rare. Only high-ranking corporate executives can be guaranteed a 'trial' when accused of a legal violation. Most individuals believed to be violating Authority legal codes, if they cannot afford their day in court, are dealt with directly and unilaterally by the Security division. Trials, when they do occur, often proceed more like mediations than the jury tribunals common to other governments. An arbiter is appointed by the Authority, usually by the Legal division, both sides make their case and then the arbiter decides the outcome. The CSA tries to remain impartial in these matters to preserve a public image of legitimacy, but, in the end, efficiency is valued much more than fairness. Smaller, unimportant cases are sometimes remanded to peer tribunals to free the Authority from the burden of dealing with them. The most important cases, usually those involving serious charges against very high level executives or sponsor corporations, are brought directly to and decided by the Direx Board itself.
