<h1>Courts of Record maintain permanent proceedings archives with power to fine and imprison for contempt</h1> The Constitution does not define 'Court of Record,' but legal dictionaries establish consistent meaning. A Court of Record is one where acts and judicial proceedings are permanently enrolled for memorial and testimony, possessing power to fine and imprison for contempt of its authority. Such courts maintain official records of proceedings that serve as conclusive evidence and cannot be questioned due to their supereminent authority. Courts without express statutory declaration as courts of record may still qualify if they possess power to fine or imprison for contempt or other substantive offences. The proceedings of these courts are preserved in archives as permanent records with evidentiary value.
