| The Kourt process is performed by dedicated Legal Enactment And General Law Enforcement robots (called the Legal EAGLES) each day. Trials are carried out by processing available surveillance and sensory data, and can take up to 45 minutes, longer if the case requires human testimony (often acquired through neuroscanning). Rulings are handed down immediately by the presiding Legal EAGLE and may not be appealed. Typical punishments include fines (payable in most non-static currencies), imprisonment (for periods up to 50,000,000 minutes), forced [[One:Robotification|robotification]], or (most commonly) death. The bodies of terminated convicts are forfeited for use in [[One:alies|ALIES]] maintenance and nourishment.
