Wouldnt a non adversarial system create the justices as judge jury and executioner? You said yourself in the OP there would be no traditional Prosecution or defense Instead Judges would act as Investigators and Sentencers. By researching the facts of the matter and coming to a conclusion...

Hooray for "grave digging" a three month old thread, Im sure an admin will be over to warn us shortly. :)

Congrats Tomb. We started here about the same time. gives me hope that maybe I sell my own abilites short. That I could successfully run my own ministry or win a spot as Delegate or Vice Delegate if I sat my mind to it.

The introduction informal discussion phase is just that. An inital phase to see who is open to changes And making compromises. The five day formal debate phase is to fine tune it and clean it up and make last minute changes/fix mistakes.

How it works is the introduction phase and when the bill sponsor is satisfied they may motion for formal debate. The Speakers office may put a motion in formal debate if it feels enough discussion had occured. After the formal debate period the bill can no longer be amended and the speaker may...

God-Man Flemingovia has my vote!

So theoreticly, if someone would resign less than 3 weeks away from a new election, who would finish the remainder of the term? some functions like delegate are critical functions and cannot afford an interruption of service.

We could just end special elections and if there are vacancies let the delegate appoint a replacement to finish the elected term out. Or if the del isnt avail...such as now with mcms resignation let whomever the government officer next in line is (acting delegate) make the appointment. In case...

Nay.

which is kindof what I was getting at. On a side note fwiw I kind of like Romanoffia's idea of the Justices taking themselves a roll call periodically.

Seems fairly simple. Instead of holding an election every time someone resigns or abandons their post/RL causes them to dissapear. Have the Delagate nominate a replacement pending approval of the RA...(though since the citizenship bill all citizens can particpate in the RA...so in a way...its...

I nominate Flemingovia for Justice and Romanoffia for AG. (That would make an interesting court term :) ) Also, at this time I decline a nomination, ive been involved in the AGs office is some capacity since July, time to let other people have an opportunity, but thanks Andrew.

No pillaging?...butttt The Vikings.... Nay.

What Flem said

Delegate: Eluvatar Would you like to reopen nominations? No

Or just do away with the judical system all together and have the Delegate maintain his own group of loyal stasi. And take people out back behind the cabinet chambers to ya know, never be seen again. It could work. Totally.

Hey hey, Urkle, what do you have against manditory toothbrushing laws and free Identification ponies for all Americans? One day Id like to see Vermin Surpreme and Jimmy McMillan get together to form the ultimate Presidential ticket of all time.

reasonable summary, also PWL wants a bar association so if people pass this exam they can be on the bar, similar to how RL lawyers and such are in 'murica. And they are subject to abide by ethics set by the bar.

I am not okay with requiring tests to hold office, however I do like the Idea of a TNP Bar Association..for Role Play Purposes where TNP Lawyers and Judges can join and discuss informally problems in the laws and debate the merits and follys of TNP Case law...and have a chairperson of the...
