Arya Ellinor Raelenthur is the President of the Federal Constitutional Court of Delkora, having assumed the position in 2012 following the retirement of Elberin Kaldenbar. A distinguished jurist, she has published numerous books and articles on Delkoran law and is considered one of the most influential figures in Delkoran legal theory in recent history.

Early life and education

Raelenthur was born in Tordenhelm in 1960 to Edgar and Ellinor Raelenthur. Her father died while Raelenthur was still young, and her mother struggled to make ends meet by working various odd jobs, resulting in the family being intermittently homeless until Raelenthur was 12, at which point her mother was able to secure training and steady employment as an electrician through the recently-established Public Works Commission. After excelling in secondary school and graduating at the top of her class, Raelenthur was accepted into Tordenhelm University in 1977, where she studied political science and law. After graduating in 1980, she began studying for her Master of Laws at the University of Norenstal, during which time she also worked as an intern for Elberin Kaldenbar, then a justice of the Federal Administrative Court who Raelenthur would later succeed as President of the Constitutional Court.

Upon attaining her M.L. in 1983, Raelenthur relocated to Gothendral, where she volunteered with various legal aid clinics in low income neighborhoods throughout the city. During this time she also pursued a Doctor of Laws at the University of Gothendral, publishing a dissertation entitled Pre-Modern Delkoran Customary Law and the Constitutional Right to Freedom of Movement in 1987.

Civil rights prosecutor

After receiving her D.L., Raelenthur returned to Tordenhelm, where she took a job with the Civil Rights Division of the Federal Procuracy. In 1989, her office brought charges against several high profile landlords in the city for severe property maintenance violations she argued represented "a substantial and negligent threat to tenants' safety and well being" in violation of federal housing laws. In 1992, she led a successful prosecution of a Federal Border Guard supervisor for failing to provide an interpreter to a detained Svinian migrant who was later deported despite having requested to submit an application for asylum.
