I have to wonder what sort of crime or other offense Mr. Janli committed for the Court of the Beyond to judge that beating him over the head with a stick would be poetically apropos.

(To say nothing about wondering just who the Court of the Beyond actually are…)

The Court of the Beyond’s just a specialized third-tier court (i.e., the same level as the Courts of the Districts; the bottom level ones that handle routine cases) that deals with extra-jurisdictional or foreigner-involving cases - rather than requiring/letting people find some suitable/inconvenient local jurisdiction and argue the case there. It also comes pre-equipped to sit by telepresence, if need be. At additional costs.

(More notably, it also comes with justices carefully selected such that they’ll at least warn shady foreign lawyers accustomed to somewhat different legal systems before citing them for Contempt of Court, Thinking This Is A Court Of Law And Not A Court Of Justice, Palaver Forbiddance, or Believing The Justices Are Dumb Enough To Buy That Load Of Feculent Bullshit.)
