'''Juridicals''' were a [[rate]] in [[Forerunner]] society. They were charged with investigating criminal actions by citizens of the [[ecumene]], as well as preventing crimes from being committed. The head of the Juridical rate was known as the [[Master Juridical]]. Many Juridicals belonged to [[Catalog]], a group of evidence-gathering agents who were all viewed as the same individual and were connected via the Juridical network, which spanned the [[ecumene]] and was used as a means of communication and information sharing among Catalog and other Juridicals.<ref name="Tor">[http://www.tor.com/stories/2013/03/halo-silentium-string-1-excerpt '''Tor.com''', ''Sneak Peak at Halo: Silentium'']</ref><ref name="Waypoint">[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/03/13/Silentium-Sneak-Peek.aspx '''Halo Waypoint''', ''Sneak Peak at Halo: Silentium'']</ref> | '''Juridicals''' were a [[rate]] in [[Forerunner]] society.

Juridicals often used the [[Domain]] as a means to store and investigate material relevant to given cases, enlisting the services of [[Haruspis]] when seeking to access specific information. Due to their closer connection to the Domain than Forerunners in general, Juridicals were noted to be conservative in their views. | Juridicals often used the [[Domain]] as a means to store and investigate material relevant to given cases, enlisting the services of [[Haruspis]] when seeking to access specific information.

As a result, many older Catalog units relinquished their evidence-gathering duties in favor of tasks in which less interaction with the other rates was required.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 198''</ref> | ||
The [[Interpreter]]s, experts in the study and interpretation of the [[Mantle]], acted in conjunction with the Juridicals in cases of crimes against the Mantle with the Interpreters judgments often taking precedence. However, the Interpreters were eventually assimilated by the Builders.{{Ref/Novel|Epi|11}} | |||
During the rule of the [[Ecumene Council|Old Council]], Juridicals were corrupted by [[Master Builder]] [[Faber]], and were used to pursue his agenda.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 2''</ref> Some Juridicals held controversially nonchalant views regarding the threat posed by the [[Flood]]. Since [[Gravemind]]s retained the memories of the beings they absorbed, it was reasoned that as long as a civilization's constituent information was not lost, it would theoretically continue to exist even within the Flood collective.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 99''</ref> | During the rule of the [[Ecumene Council|Old Council]], Juridicals were corrupted by [[Master Builder]] [[Faber]], and were used to pursue his agenda.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 2''</ref> Some Juridicals held controversially nonchalant views regarding the threat posed by the [[Flood]].
