Council of Reconciliation
The Council of Reconciliation was made up of five Master Consulars tasked with negotiating with political factions both inside and outside of the Galactic Senate. Meeting in the circular Council Chamber at the Jedi Temple, membership on the Council was granted through appointment after a vote of all members. Two permanent members sat for life or until they stepped down, while the other three rotated out after serving a five year term. Due to the nature of the Council's dealings, variety in membership was need, so that different Masters could lend their knowledge and expertise to a specific situation.
The Reconciliation Council had a similar relationship with the Senate as did the High Council with the Office of the Supreme Chancellor. Working closely with the Republic Diplomatic Corps, the Council sought peaceful solutions to political debates that arose amongst different parties or different local governments. At the Council's disposal were the Consulars who were trained as diplomats or ambassadors, as well as a slew of Seers that assisted in making key decisions. Sometimes requested to deal with internal affairs, the Council would pass judgment over Jedi accused of falling to the dark side of the Force, or committing a crime. It was acceptable for other Jedi to appear at the hearing to offer testimony for the accused Jedi. The Council's decision was final, and respected by the other three Councils.
Members of the Council often serve on one of the other Council simultaneously, or have retired from the High Council and retained their membership.
