  IMPERIAL CHAMBER - LoveToKnow Article on IMPERIAL CHAMBER
Their aim was to substitute for the old and personal council and court appointed and controlled by the emperor a new and official council, and a new and official court, appointed and controlled by the diet (or rather, in the ultimate resort, by the electors).
The members of the Imperial Chamber, which was created by the diet in 1495 in order to serve as such a court,2 were therefore the agents of the Empire, and not of the emperor.
The competition between the Aulic Council and the Imperial Chamber was finally regulated by the treaty of Westphalia, which laid it down that the court which first dealt with a case should alone have competence to pursue it.

 What is an Imperial Court?
Courts traditionally contribute to oranizations such as the various AIDS-related services in their local communities, Women's Breast Cancer, PFLAG, gay and lesbian Community Centers and other charities of concern to Gay men and women, although Courts are not limited in where they choose to disperse their funds.
Although the particulars vary from Court to Court, their powers most often include the authority to name the members of their Court, and to hold functions and designate the charities to which the money they raise will be dispersed.
In most courts, monarchs are expected to organize and attend meetings and functions, to be on time, handle funds appropriately, delegate responsibility to others, travel to other cities, and get along in public with his or her fellow monarch.

An Associated Press investigation found, and court observers agree, that most of these defendants are cooperating government witnesses, but the secrecy surrounding their records prevents the public from knowing details of their plea bargains with the government.
The court office also found a sharp increase in defendants whose case records were partly sealed for a limited time.
But the AP investigation found, and court observers agree, that the overwhelming number of these cases sealed for a limited time involve a use of secrecy that draws no criticism: the sealing of an indictment only until the defendant is arrested.

 Asian Issues, American Courts: Understanding New Challenges to American Business
Courts have been increasingly liberal in interpreting the statutory requirement of “a tort only in violation of the law of nations” to create a cause of action for conduct in addition to torture, which was considered by the Second Circuit in Filartiga.
Courts have developed doctrines to decline to hear such suits and the executive branch, which has the responsibility for conducting foreign policy, has shared its views and expertise in specific cases, particularly when called upon to do so by the courts.
Whether or not the courts are the most appropriate forum for determining the extent to which such actions are violations of local or international law, and remedying them it is a separate issue – and an entirely legal one - whether Congress has actually given the courts this authority.

Also, under Barbarossa, the idea of the "Romanness" of the Empire culminated again, which seemed to be a attempt to justify the emperor's power independently of the (now strenghened) pope.
Court practice heavily relied on traditional customs or rules described as such.) It is during this time also that the territories began to transform themselves into predecessors of modern states.
Among others, this act produced the Imperial Circle Estates and the Reichskammergericht, (Imperial Chamber Court); structures that would -- to a degree -- persist until the end of the Empire in 1806.

In 1495, an attempt was made at a Reichstag in the city of Worms to give the disintegrating Holy Roman Empire a new structure, commonly referred to as Imperial Reform (in German: Reichsreform).
Whether this reform can be considered successful depends on how one defines its goals; today, many scholars believe that the reform was not really aimed at producing a modern state (in which it failed), but rather attempted to consolidate and distribute power between the Empire and the states in consensus, which it did.
The reform was more or less concluded with the 1555 Reichsexekutionsordnung (Imperial Execution Order), which regulated more details of the tasks of the Imperial Circle Estates.

 Courting Disaster
Although the court is an important institutional step beyond the ad-hoc tribunals for Yugoslavia and Rwanda, there's more risk of it being too weak to do the job rather than its being too strong.
U.S. rejection of the court is thus mainly a symbolic statement that America is not accountable to anyone.
This is an imperial ideal, not an assertion of sovereignty.

The ancient native Japanese forms, like the sacred Mi-kagura and the Azuma Asobi and Yamato Mai, are also part of the tradition and responsibility of the imperial court musicians but are considered separate from the main body of the Gagaku repertoire.
Chamber music performances in various combinations such as they have been described in the Heian period, do not survive either.
