  Article 298-Forum  
  Canon 3218  
  A Forum is the realm of Time, Space and Venue in which a Suit may be adjudicated according Lex causae (form of law) using Lex Fori (laws of the forum) by a valid Court.  
  Canon 3219  
  There are only three types of Forum: Spiritual, Formal and Informal:  
  (i) A Spiritual Forum is a purely spiritual and formal ecclesiastical realm and venue within Heaven in accordance with these canons and Pactum De Singularis Caelum. Only one (1) Spiritual Forum exists, namely the Supreme Court of One Heaven. It is the highest court of all possible courts; and  
  (ii) A Formal Forum is a venue that exists within the temporal realm as a dedicated Oratory for the hearing of Suits as a Court. The possible highest jurisdiction of Formal Forums are Ucadia Courts. The lowest possible jurisdiction are Roman Courts; and  
  (iii) An Informal Forum is a venue that exists within the temporal realm that is not a dedicated Oratory for the hearing of Suits as a Court, but has been nonetheless secured for such purpose. The possible highest jurisdiction of Informal Forums are Ucadia Forums. The lowest possible jurisdiction are Roman Forums.  
  Canon 3220  
  Any claimed Spiritual Forum or Court, or derivation of purely spiritual court such as Rota or Sanhedrin and all claimed powers and matters are hereby transferred to the venue of the Supreme Court of One Heaven.  
  Canon 3221  
  Lex causae is the form of law chosen by a Forum from among valid Legal Systems to adjudicate any matters before it. Accordingly, the first and primary Lex causae of any valid Forum are these Canons and associated Ucadia Law and none other.  
  Canon 3222  
  An inferior system of Law may be considered as a valid secondary Lex causae only if it is an equality based System of Law as defined by these Canons.  
  Canon 3223  
  Lex Fori is the laws governing the Forum in the adjudication of any matter. Accordingly, the first and primary Lex fori of any valid Forum are these Canons and associated Ucadia Law and none other.
