Sanctaria declined due to time constraints. Dreadton is able and willing.

Will ask Sanctaria, Dreadton, Comfed, Gorundu, in that order.

We don't have jurors, we have Justices. If you apply for Citizenship you can run for Justice in the next Judicial election. Until then, as you are not involved in this case, I will request that you do not disturb the order of the Court.

No acknowledgement of the indictment from the indicted nations, so no defense to work with so far. I will send them a last TG but otherwise their plea will be noted as "not guilty", and the Court has to assign their defense counsel. If you have suggestions I would love to hear it. Myself I lean...

Good Lord, what a load of rubbish. Quorum raiding is tool in the toolbox, not some divine mandate. Against.

Certainly.

With the feedback to the public list of THOs being so uniformly positive, I would implement it over the weekend if you consent, @Eluvatar . I would populate the initial list with people who have served as Justice and members of the Bar, so there are a decent number of people I will have to...

For.

Yes. The difference being that in those mentioned instances, the prosecution hasn't made an assessment of the evidence and decided the prosecution's case is too weak to continue. I imagine a process alike 22, where a prosecutor believes that the evidence is too weak and files to drop the case...

The Court has discussed codifying prosecutor discretion n the Court Procedures. This is not something that should be done lightly, as one can easily see from adverse results in real life, and as such the Court invites public feedback on the topic. Our system of open submission of indictments...

It has been an unspoken tradition that Justices who are functionally absent have been labelled as ‘abstaining’ on R4Rs. That has not been necessary while I have been on the Court, but one needs only to go back in the Rulings Registry to see that absence without temporary replacement has been a...

The indictment has been accepted. The trial is available here.

In the matter of The North Pacific v. KEKISTON, GrandEngland, the indictment is accepted by the Court. The Court is now in session. @Attempted Socialism will serve as Moderating Justice, @Simone will serve as Standby Hearing Officer. @Lord Dominator serves as Temporary Hearing Officer in place...

We don't have to accept the treason charge, we can reject it for substantive reasons (which a lack of a prima facie case would be). But I would prefer to leave it up to a prosecutor to drop the charge if the prosecution can't show actions towards the plot.

St George presented an indictment. https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/6989211/8#post-10604428 I'm not sure what to think... It feels like shooting sparrows with cannons, but the evidence presented is prima facie credible enough to support the charge.

Yep, have access. Thanks.

Please mask Lord Dominator as THO per their oath: https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/7019276/43#post-10604477

The Indictment has been received by the Court and is under consideration. Per 3.1 of the Court Rules and Procedures, I hereby order the preservation of evidence.

@Eluvatar given the appointment of LD as THO and the indictment submitted by St George, I'm going to need access to the Chambers.

Dear Citizens. In the current Court term we have been discussing various options to improve the Court as such. One of the simpler ideas is a public list of available THOs, where interested and available citizens can sign up. The Court has often employed an informal shortlist of candidates...
