Summary
Chapter 9, “Judgment Day,” treats of crimes and punishments in Aztec society as they pertained to people of different social stations and stages of life. It logically moves into processes of adjudication with courts and judges, examines two actual cases, and considers the role of palaces in the formal legal system.
