  Reichskammergericht - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Reichskammergericht was the highest judicial institution in the Holy Roman Empire, founded in 1495 by the Reichstag in Worms.
All proceedings in the Holy Roman empire could be brought to the Reichskammergericht, except if the ruler of the territory had a so-called privilegium de non appellando, in which the highest judicial institution was founded by the ruler of that territory.
Some proceedings, especially in law suits between territories belonging to the Holy Roman Empire, took several hundred years, some of them were not brought to an end by the time it was dissolved in 1806 after the downfall of the Holy Roman Empire.

The Council of Imperial Cities was not fully equal to the others; it could not vote on several matters such as the admission of new territories.
The Reich also had two courts: the Reichshofrat at the court of the king/emperor (that is, later in Vienna), and the Reichskammergericht (Imperial Chamber Court), established with the Imperial Reform of 1495.
However, it should take a few more decades until the new regulation was universally accepted and the new court began to actually function; only in 1512 would the Imperial Circles be finalized.

His great abilities attracted the notice of Erasmus and other celebrated men, and his renown was soon wide and general.
Having lectured on law at the universities of Bourges and Padua, he accepted a judicial position under the bishop of Munster which he resigned in 1535 to become assessor of the imperial court of justice (Reichskammergericht).
He would not, however, undertake the post of tutor to Philip, son of the emperor Charles V.; nor would he accept any of the many lucrative and honorable positions offered him by various European princes, preferring instead to remain at the university of Ingolstadt, where for five years he occupied a professorial chair.

Adherents of the Lutheran Confession, trained at Lutheran universities, now sat among its judges by the side of Catholic colleagues, though the principle of an actual numerical equality between them was not yet adopted, and the presiding judge continued to be always a Catholic.
The Reichskammergericht was now empowered to regulate its own procedure by " common decrees " (gemeine Bescheide), to which a binding force attached until they were revoked at an annual visitation by an Imperial deputation ; and in these visiting commissions also it was provided that the Lutherans should be regularly represented.
The competence of this tribunal, and of the Emperor's ordinances concerning it, was steadily denied by the Estates ; nor was it till the Peace of Westphalia that it received full recognition and became a permanent part of the Constitution of the Empire.

Some tries to unify and to standardize the “Law in Germany”: 1495: “Reichskammergericht” and “Reichskammergerichtsordnung” The “Reichskammergericht” was a court designed to have jurisdiction in the whole of Germany.
The “Reichskammergerichtsordnung” was the procedural code applied by the “Reichskammergericht”.
During the period of reception there had been attempts to codify certain parts of the law on a national basis, but these attempts had very little success.

Bohemia - the odd one out: took part in the elections but not in any other matters, even though it had an individual vote and a seat in the Reichstag.
It fell outside of the competence of the Reichskammergericht, was not under the regime of Imperial vicars and was not brought into Reichskreise.
The situation changed with Bohemia's 'readmission' in 1708.
