The Kadi askeri, one of the two Kazasker, the highest military judges. In the Imperial Council were two kazasker, who together with the grand visor were responsible for the justice in the Empire. Originally they accompanied Sultan in his military campaigns and represented the judiciary of the court, one for the European part of the Empire (Rumeli) and the other for the Asian part (Anadolu).
