Line 1: The '''Grand Council''' is the supreme governing body of the [[Clans]] to which it can issue decrees applicable to all. Each Clan is represented by its [[Khan]] and [[saKhan]] and vote on a wide range of matters which affect more than one Clan, from ensuring fair play during a [[Trial of Possession]] to voting on another Clan's [[Trial of Annihilation]]. The Grand Council also serves as the highest court in Clan space, including those where the impartiality of the [[Clan Council]] is in question or the matter affects more than one Clan. While few civilian cases are deemed sufficiently worthy to warrant the Grand Council's judgment, those of the Warrior Caste, especially highly ranking officers, are usually taken up for examination. The Grand Council cannot interfere in the internal matters of a Clan or Bloodname House except in matters of Reaving and Propagation.<ref name=MWC70>''MechWarrior's Guide to the Clans'', p. 70</ref> The '''Grand Council''' is the supreme governing body of the [[Clans]] to which it can issue decrees applicable to all.
