200px|right|thumb|Neapolitan justiciarates in 1454 A justiciarate or justiciarship ( , plural giustizierati; alternatively known as circoscrizione) was a type of administrative subdivision that was used by several Italian states in the medieval period.
The Kingdom of Sicily under Frederick II used giustizierati to divide his realms in the 1230s: Abruzzo, Basilicata, Calabria, Capitanata, Principato e Terra Beneventana, Terra di Bari, Terra di Lavoro (including the modern Frosinone and Latina provinces of today's Lazio region), Terra d'Otranto and Valle di Crati e Terra Giordana.
