The Kadi Askeri, one of the two kazasker, the highest military judges. In the Imperial Council were two kazasker, which along with the Grand Vizier were responsible for the administration of justice in the Empire. Originally they accompanied the sultan on his military campaigns, and they represented the judiciary of the court, one for the European part of the Empire (Rumeli) and the other for the Asian part (Anadolu). In the eighteenth century their power was waning considerably. Part of their responsibilities had been taken over by the Grand Vizier and another part by the Seyh ul Islam.
