Additionally, highborn such as lords and nobles are afforded more rights by law: they cannot be denied trials{{Ref|aGoT|33}} and are allowed more leniency in their conduct.

An accused highborn may demand [[~~trial by combat~~julgamento por combate]]{{Ref|aGoT|38}} or the less used [[trial of seven]] and let the gods give judgement.{{Ref|aGoT|47}} "Taking the black", to join the [[Night's Watch]], is an alternative to criminal punishment.{{Ref|aGoT|3}} By taking the black, one’s crimes are forgiven and he is exiled to the wall severing all previous ties. Women are not allowed to take the black. Only a knight of the Kingsguard can champion a queen in a trial by battle if she has been accused of treason.{{Ref|aFfC|43}}

The legal majority for men and women is 16.<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/Age_of_Majority/ Age of Majority (November 04, 1999)]</ref> Trials, at least among the nobility, often begin with a prayer from a septon beseeching [[Father (the Seven)|the Father Above]] to guide them towards justice.{{Ref|aSoS|66}} The accused and witness are sworn to honesty before he gives testimony at a trial.{{Ref|aSoS|66}} Of old, the High Septons might appoint seven judges to try a case, and if a woman was accused, three of them might be women, representing maidens, mothers, and crones.{{Ref|aFfC|43}}
