skiladómr (ON) noun

This was a court of arbitration, a tribunal of twelve men. It had to decide on the facts of a case that was not entirely clear. The consequences were left to the negotiation of the parties involved. The skiladómr was opposed to the sáttardómr, which passed judgement on cases in which the circumstances were already clear.
