The Kadi askeri, one of the two Kazasker, the highest military judges. In the Imperial Council were two kazasker, who together with the grand visor were responsible for the justice in the Empire. Originally they accompanied Sultan in his military campaigns and 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 already wading. Some of their powers were taken over by the great visor and another part by the Seyhül Islam. However, because of their beautiful large turban and the fur-shaped cover dance they remained an impressive appearance.
