معلومات إضافية This form of justice was instituted around 960, by Al-Hakam II, and then perfected by the first Christian king of Valencia, Jaime I. Today the court continues to retain its democratic essence: every two years each irrigation community elects its representative. In their meetings they speak Valencian and wear the traditional black shirt of the irrigators.
