justiciary
High legal officer
Justiciary refers to the administration of justice or to a judge or other officer administering it.
In Scottish law, the High Court of Justiciary is the supreme criminal court.
Historically, a justiciary was a high judicial officer, particularly in medieval England where the chief justiciary governed in the king's absence.
The term is largely confined to legal and historical contexts.
