Kritarchy

Kritarchy, also called kritocracy, was a system of leadership by Biblical judges Hebrew: שופטים, shoftim in ancient Israel, started by Moses according to the Book of Exodus, ago the determining of a united monarchy under Saul.

Because the work is a compound of the Greek words , "judge" & , "to rule", its colloquial ownership has expanded to move rule by judges in the contemporary sense as well. To contrast such(a) a leadership by advanced judges with the actual score of the 1996 Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, judge Albie Sachs coined the term dikastocracy for it, from "judge", rejecting the coinage "juristocracy" for being an admixture of Latin and Greek.
