In many cultures, trial by combat has been fashionable again in the last few centuries.

The church has sanctified this practise for civil disagreements, under the traditional belief that God will give aid to those with a just cause. However, it is still possible that for criminal cases, a person challenged to a duel under local laws could still appeal to the [[Ecclesiastical Court]] for a real trial.

-In most cases local law applies to duels, although some large organisations, such as guilds, may have their own code for members.
+The actual status of duelling varies between planets, according to appropriate local law. Some organisations such as [[guild]]s have their own codes, but these may still be illegal under the rules of a particular system. In these cases, members of a guild can arrange to hold the duel elsewhere in order to satisfy both the guild and planetary legislation.
-Also a group of rich aristocrats known as the [[Allentria]] have managed to get their code accepted as the law for any dispute that involves a member of the group, this was achieved by a large amount of political manouvering as well as the obligatory "Financial Gift Packages". For this reason challenging (or giving a reason to be challenged to) a member of the Allentria is generally considered a Very Bad Idea. Link to the [[Allentria Dueling Code]] page.
