To Examine the Foundations of Al-Muzaffar's Judiciary System

Presence of Mongolians in Iran not only was a military event but also their migration to the Iran plateau has imposed its effects on the economic, cultural, social and administrative infrastructures. Administrative system was among the first affected sections at the very beginning years. Though these effects gradually and not entirely lost their affection, but some lasting ones remained in effect for many years. This research is aimed at recognizing the effects on judiciary system in the rule of Al-Muzaffar (1292-1374 AD), formulating foundations of judiciary system in this regiment and assessing manner and quality of decrement or continuation of Mongolian symbols in Al-Muzafar's judiciary system. This descriptive-analytical research has been conducted in the field of library studies. Corollaries of this research affirm that judiciary system of Al-Muzaffar is based on three principles: adoption from judiciary system of Al-Muzafar's early dignitaries; Ilkhanites, administrative systems of the Iranian Muslim States and local traditions of Al-Muzaffar's regality in Yazd and Fars. Findings also demonstrate that Mongolian symbols, in spite of their presence in Al-Muzaffar's judiciary system have gradually been attenuated and replaced with those of Islamic-Iranian ones. At least in the middle ages, This fact is indicator of prominent presence of continuation in the Iranian judiciary system.
