Obvious questions:
What's the difference between Citizen and Free Person? Why is a Prisoner equal to a citizen? Is there such a thing as an unsecured slave? Is there such a thing as an unowned pet? Slaves are property, but ranked higher than property.
Suloy/Sulay/Sulat : Unnecessary redundancy that few if any will actually use. Who cares if a slave was born into slavery or not? All slaves in Belariath are of sexual maturity age.
Unbound Slave: as mentioned elsewhere, this simply doesnt exist.
Free People #1 should add " as they see fit.". Not all free persons will 'protect' their property to equal degrees.
#2: See above. Slaves not actively owned by an individual would be property of the ISA, and owned by them.
Slave Owners #1: The trailing clause doesnt make gramatical sense with your primary case of the neither nor.
Imperial Judicial Arm: Simple. Slave wrong, Free person right. Dont like it? tough. Slaves dont have rights. If the slave's owner believes their property is being incorrectly persecuted by a free person, said owner can take it up with the offender.
