The Court of the King's Bench is an entity within the King's Court , is the supreme court of the Elwynnese Union. It derives its authority from the vesting of supreme judicial power in the person of the King of Elwynn under the Elwynnese Constitution. The first formal reference to the Court of the King's Bench was attested in the decree of Llaq Enderion issued in the year 1629.5910 (Elw.ASC).

The Court of the King's Bench has two subordinate courts, the Court of Castle Chamber, which hears civil cases and the Court of Star Chamber which deals with criminal cases and political trials against enemies of the state.
