In accordance with the Constitution of Benito, Article 11, Maestro Istefan Perþonest enacts the following proclamation with the force of law:
A Proclamation to Create an Arvitier Prima of Benito.
Section 1: The position of Arviteir Prima (in English, Chief Umpire) is hereby established. The symbol of the position is a large metaphorical gavel.
Section 2: The Arviteir Prima shall serve as the nonpartisan presiding official of the Legislative Chancellery. The rulings and judgments of the Arviteir Prima in this role may be appealed to a vote of the members of the Chancellery. The Arviteir Prima is in charge of making sure new Maestros are elected when the position is open. The position of Arviteir Prima does not entitle the holder to a vote in the Chancellery, not even to break ties.
Section 3: Invoking the right under Article 17 of the Constitution for the province to establish a justice system, the Province of Benito establishes the Cort Provincial, to try cases arising under Benitan law.
Section 4: The Arviteir Prima shall provide advisory opinions to the Maestro and Chancellery upon request, and shall represent the province in national courts unless the Maestro or Chancellery appoints another representative.
Section 5: The Arvitier Prima is appointed by the Maestro, and shall serve until the Maestro appoints another to the job.
In accordance with this newly-enacted proclamation, I appoint myself Arvitier Prima.

Section 3: Invoking the right under Article 17 of the Constitution for the province to establish a justice system, the Province of Benito establishes the Cort Provincial, to try cases arising under Benitan law.
- a. The Cort Provincial is an inferior court. The Cort pü Inalt, per Article 16, remains the court of original jurisdiction for matters under Benitan Law. These terms are used as they generally are in discussions of the legal system in states of the United States.
- b. Cases under Benitan law may be filed in the Cort Provincial or the Cort pü Inalt. The Cort pü Inalt may choose to refer cases filed before it to the Cort Provincial rather than be bothered with them. When a case is appealed to the Cort pü Inalt from the Cort Provincial, as a court of original jurisdiction, the Cort pü Inalt may retry the case in whole.
- c. The Arviteir Prima shall be judge of cases before the Cort Provincial
