Abstract
Justice is one of the Assyrian Kings’ titles during the Sargon II Dynasty, 721–612 BCE. They used to say that they loved justice. Despite the existence of courts and judges, high-ranking officials and astrologers prefer to complain to the King directly using their association with the King to state their problem, sometimes between lines or at the end of the report. Most of the cases are concerned with either estate or other affairs.This paper focused on those cases; unfortunately in most cases we do not know the King’s orders except in some cases when the officials were not satisfied with the judge’s verdict, therefore they complain again and mention the King’s order as an indirect speech in the same letter.
