Court of the Doge

The Court of the Doge was the official body responsible for adjudicating criminal and civil cases in Venetian Venice. It served as the primary court where legal disputes, accusations, and criminal charges were heard and decided. The court was part of the broader judicial system, with the Doge (the ruler) and other officials overseeing justice. Its proceedings helped maintain law and order in Venice, reflecting the city's sophisticated legal structure and commitment to justice during its republic era.
