Rashi, on Esth 1:13

“Baked the wise men, who according to the custom of the kings, were always near his person, and all he did was by their counsel, who knew the laws, and judgments of their forefathers:”

“for so was the king’s custom For it was the king’s custom in every judgment to present the matter before all who knew law and judgment.”
