Vehmic court

(重定向自Femgericht)
A Vehm on a miniature in Herforder Rechtsbuch (ca 1375)

The Vehmic courts, Vehmgericht, holy vehme, or simply Vehm, also spelt Feme, Vehmegericht, Fehmgericht, are names given to a "proto-vigilante" tribunal system of Westphalia in Germany active during the later Middle Ages, based on a fraternal organisation of lay judges called “free judges” (German:Freischöffen or French:francs-juges). The original seat of the courts was in Dortmund. Proceedings were sometimes secret, leading to the alternative titles of “secret courts” (German:heimliches Gericht), “silent courts” (German:Stillgericht), or “forbidden courts” (German:verbotene Gerichte). After the execution of a death sentence, the corpse could be hung on a tree to advertise the fact and deter others.
