"Speak and we shall listen. I can promise nothing further."

In AD780, Charlemagne revised Salic law, which had been developed and codified during the Merovingian era in an attempt to create a single reference source for all Frankish legal matters. Charlemagne worked further on the laws, endeavouring to reduce the 'legalese' clutter and make the language more concise. He also introduced the role of the 'scabini' to legal proceedings; each court was represented by seven scabini who, between them, were supposed to know all of the Salic law codes. They had on them at all times a copy of the 'Lex Ripuara', a book of Germanic law, for easy reference. The scabini answered directly to the judges and sometimes were even able to pass judgement themselves. The position of scabini evolved into the 'lay judge' or 'assessor' in modern European law - essentially the assistant of the courts.
