-**Shire-Moot**at least twice a year each Earl must hold a Shire-Moot for the entire Earldom.   The Earl establishes the docket, and runs the meeting jointly with the Bishop.  The Shire-moot mostly deals with issues of property, the ordinary criminal cases being handled by the Hundred-Moots.  The sherrif is always present at the Shire-Moot and has the right to delay implementation of any decision that may interfere with the rights of the King.   The sherrif is also tasked with enforcing the decisions of the Shire-Moot.   The Shire-Moot also decides any appeals from the Hundred-Moots.  Like the Hundred-Moot, the Earl proposes a decision, and the Sheriff and Bishop comment on whether it is in accordance with Law and Custom of God and Man.  Where the decision of the Hundred Moots rests in the hands of the 100 Churls of the Hundred, decisions of the Shire-Moot are made by the Earl, Bishop, Lords, Sheriff, Abbots, and senior priests assembled in council.  A shire market or fair is common on Shire-moot day.
