 The sole judge is now the hereditary Earl Marshal of England, the Duke of Norfolk, though if not a professional lawyer, he normally appoints a professional lawyer as his lieutenant or surrogate.In Scotland, these types of cases are heard in the Court of the Lord Lyon, which is a standing civil and criminal court, with its own judge – the Lord Lyon King of Arms and its own procurator fiscal ("public prosecutor") under the Scottish legal system.The court was historically known as the "Curia Militaris", the "Court of the Constable and the Marshal", or the "Earl Marshal's Court".
