Judicial Procedure is the selection of judges and the administration of judgment under laws given to the people. The people were to “choose you by the voice of this people, judges,” and judges were to judge according to laws “given you by our fathers” (Mosiah 29:25).
When judges did not judge according to the law, the people could have them “judged of a higher judge.” Lower judges could be gathered to judge higher judges “according to the voice of the people” (Mosiah 29:28-29).
Lawyers were hired or appointed to administer the law “at their times of trials” before judges. Men of Pachus and captured king-men received their trial “according to the law” (Alma 10:13-14; Alma 62:9).
