The Seraphim Council meets at least once a week (typically Monday), with rarely an exception.  The meeting is about 10 to 15 hours long and therein things are brought forth, discussed, voted upon, and to whom officially responsible for what actions is discussed, argued, reasoned out, and decided upon (but rarely voted upon).

In the first three hours or so, issues, problems or ideas are brought up and discussed.  Normally, there will not be a call for a vote on these issues until the Councils Three are allowed to meet, which they typically do after all issues have been presented; they meeting for about three to five hours, during which time often angels will be seen moving between groups to exchange information.  Occasionally, something will come up that will be important enough that the Seraphim Council in its entirety (sp?) will reconvene to ensure that all will hear about it, such as bringing for a new issue previously unmentioned.

Typically, after the Councils Three have met, then the Seraphim Council (everyone) will reconvene.  Rarely are new issues brought forth at this time (bringing forth a new issue during the Councils Three usually entails a reconvening). It is at this time that councils will present their opinions, arguments, and takes on the issues at hand.  Finally, votes are cast.

Beings to be granted Words are typically included as one of many issues at hand.
The trials of Angels is not included as one of many issues.  In such as case there is a special convening of the Seraphim Council (on a Thursday, typically), specifically for the trial.  The issue (the defendant, the evidence, etc.) is presented, the Councils Three meet, discussion follows, there is a reconvening, and votes are cast.  Dominic decides the punishment, though he has been known to request that the Council or the angel's Archangel decide.

The Councils Three are the following:
 

Offensive Council (37 votes) - concerned chiefly with what's being done to attack Hell's forces.  All have a tendency towards violence, but each Archangel his own tactics, motives, and methods.
