Order was maintained by the [[Guardian Division]], led by a [[Chief Enquirer]] and staffed with Guardians. They were based in the [[Guardian building]] and were known for being thorough in their investigations. They patrolled the city and rarely had to deal with serious [[crime]]s like [[murder]].

Trials were held in the [[Capitol building]] at the far end of [[Central Avenue]].

According to the legal system, a defendant accused of a crime was considered guilty until proven innocent beyond any shadow of a doubt. A defendant found guilty of [[murder]] would be sentenced to [[death]] in the days following the verdict. One who caused a disturbance in the court could be instantly sent to the glass factories in the [[desert]] for one year without trial.
