National Judiciary Committee
The National Judiciary Committee (Alexandrian: Comité Judiciaire National) is the interim supreme judicial authority of Oportia, established on 27.XII.1744 AN by the National Salvation Council following the 1744 Oportian coup d'état. The Committee replaced the dissolved Federal High Court of Oportia as part of the military government's judicial restructuring under the Vermian Recalibration System. Headed by Henri Dufresne, a constitutional law expert from the State University of Vanie and member of the National Salvation Council, the Committee consists of appointees primarily drawn from academia and the military justice system after the removal of 17 high court judges from the previous civilian government.
The Committee operates under the "Administrative Purification" pillar of the National Salvation Council's "Four Pillars" policy, with broad authority to oversee legal proceedings related to corruption investigations and the prosecution of former government officials from the Administration of Marcel Vermeuil. While presented as a temporary institution pending constitutional restoration, the Committee has faced criticism from international observers and opposition groups who view it as a tool for legitimizing the military government's authority over the judicial system.
