Juridicals were a rate in Forerunner society. They were charged with investigating criminal actions by citizens of the ecumene, as well as preventing crimes from being committed. The head of the Juridical rate was known as the Master Juridical. Many Juridicals belonged to Catalog, a group of evidence-gathering agents who were all viewed as the same individual and were connected via the Juridical network.[1][2]
Juridicals often used the Domain as a means to store and investigate material relevant to given cases, enlisting the services of Haruspis when seeking to access specific information. Due to their closer connection to the Domain than Forerunners in general, Juridicals were noted to be conservative in their views.[2] The Juridicals also operated their own data network, known as the Juridical network, which spanned the ecumene and was used as a means of communication and information sharing among Catalog and other Juridicals.
During the rule of the Old Council, Juridicals were corrupted by Master Builder Faber, and were used to pursue his agenda.[3] The Juridical network was shut down around 100,000 BCE due to some Juridicals being captured by the Flood, who then were able to access the network and spread the logic plague to Catalog and ancillas. As a result, Forerunner legal proceedings were put on hold indefinitely.[4]
