Arya Ellinor Raelenthur is the President of the Federal Constitutional Court of Delkora, having assumed the position in 2012 following the retirement of Edvard Kaldengaard. 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 Federal 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.

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.

Prosecutor

After receiving her D.L., Raelenthur returned to Tordenhelm in 1987, where she took a job as an assistant state attorney, focusing on civil rights cases. In 1990, she was appointed a state attorney. That year, her office brought charges against several high profile landlords in the city for severe property maintenance violations.

Judicial career

In 1994, Raelenthur was nominated to fill a vacancy in the Tordenhelm District Court. As a trial judge, Raelenthur was known to be fair and unbiased, holding the government to account and handing down well-reasoned sentences. In 2003, she was nominated to serve on the Vassengård Court of Appeals, where she honed her reputation as a brilliant jurist. In criminal cases, she was often the deciding vote in favor of reducing a sentence or vacating a conviction.

After a surprise vacancy opened up on the Federal Constitutional Court in 2007, Chancellor Harald Møller nominated Raelenthur. In 2012, after Justice Edvard Kaldengaard stepped down from the Court, Raelenthur was elected by her fellow justices to succeed him as president.
