39:4.42. Jus­tice Guides. These are the an­gels who pre­sent the sum­mary of ev­i­dence con­cern­ing the eter­nal wel­fare of men and an­gels when such mat­ters come up for ad­ju­di­ca­tion in the tri­bu­nals of a sys­tem or a planet. They pre­pare the state­ments for all pre­lim­i­nary hear­ings in­volv­ing mor­tal sur­vival, state­ments which are sub­se­quently car­ried with the rec­ords of such cases to the higher tri­bu­nals of the uni­verse and the super­uni­verse. The de­fense of all cases of doubt­ful sur­vival is pre­pared by these ser­a­phim, who have a per­fect un­der­stand­ing of all the de­tails of ev­ery fea­ture of ev­ery count in the in­dict­ments drawn by the ad­min­is­tra­tors of uni­verse jus­tice.

39:4.5It is not the mis­sion of these an­gels to de­feat or to de­lay jus­tice but rather to in­sure that unerring jus­tice is dealt out with gen­er­ous mercy in fair­ness to all crea­tures. These ser­a­phim of­ten func­tion on the lo­cal worlds, com­monly ap­pear­ing be­fore the ref­eree trios of the con­cil­i­at­ing com­mis­sions—the courts for mi­nor mis­un­der­stand­ings. Many who at one time served as jus­tice guides in the lower realms later ap­pear as Voices of Mercy in the higher spheres and on Sal­ving­ton.

39:4.6In the Lu­cifer re­bel­lion in Sa­ta­nia very few of the jus­tice guides were lost, but more than one quar­ter of the other ad­min­is­tra­tor ser­a­phim and of the lower or­ders of se­raphic min­is­ters were mis­led and de­luded by the soph­ist­ries of un­bri­dled per­sonal lib­erty.
