A Mal Doran is a legal proceeding of justice conceived by Vala Mal Doran (the title being a personal joke) posing as the Goa'uld Qetesh for the inhabitants of P8X-412, and likely the other planets she ruled. It has not been held on 412 in a considerable period of time, likely not since she last ruled with any regularity. In the Mal Doran, Qetesh was the sole judge, and likely served as jury as well. Charges were read at the beginning of the session. Then Qetesh would make her case. Afterwards, the individual was likely sentenced.
