I'm the one in the middle. Also, I think IRC will be strongly encouraged for deputies. PMs suck.

Yes. An oversight on my part; my general rule is to use EST, though.

So good.

I'll address your last question first, because I'm too drunk to address the others. It's not about thanks, to me. It's a position that needs doing. It's hard because the public perception, as in the real world, often conflicts with what the actual process of how the court works. It's hard...

A-ha! Third Annual TNP Awards, I won Most Embarassing Moment (for nominating Limi for everything right after he got banned), and Best Quote (for pointing out that Ruth Bader-Ginsberg is not a MILF). Now, why exactly do we need a law to do this, again?

Can't say, subject to application process like everyone else. Application will be posted when It ake my oath - maybe sooner if I make time for it.

Didn't we used to do a TNP Awards Ceremony once a year? I've got a couple medals around here somewhere from that, I think.

Also, anyone who wants to be my deputy (should I be elected) will be subject to an application process to commence immediately upon my assuming office. Those lacking in conviction and zealous rage need not apply.

So with all this interest in being my deputies, I think I'll also teach people how to do this shit properly, so we can have good legal-minded people for the Courts in the future. I mean, you can go read the rules and get 90% of it, but I think some clean-up of offices and a more aggressive...

I'm tired, and tipsy, so now is the perfect time to write this thread. I'm running for Attorney General. You should vote for me. Here's why (besides the fact that I have an undefeated record vs the last Attorney General in court). Also, the Court has yet to disagree with me on any of the...

Oh god I agree with you. :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: Edit:

I'm not suggesting anyone is questioning her work. that's why my comments about her work had so much empty space before them - they're about something different. I would have done two separate posts, but people tend to yell at me when I do that ;)

Can you point to any instance in which a ruling has been issued based on an "RL legal term" in direct contradiction with, or disregarding, the court rules? Also, you claim that the court rules were "ever-changing." As far as I can tell, the rules changed...three times. They were whatever...

Are you familiar with this thing called rhetoric, Chas? It's something people do when they wish to raise a point in a clever manner. Sometimes, they do it in the form of a question. The question needs, and even has, no answer; merely by asking it, however, attention is drawn to the issue in...

One of the big oversights in the legal code right now is that there's this empty hole of vague "oath violation" doctrine that binds people to obeying the Legal Code. It's on my to-do list to fix, when I'm not on the bench, but this bill is a step in the right direction, generally speaking...

The Defense is vehemently opposed to such an unnecessary delay in this proceeding.

No, it really isn't. The Prosecution carries all the burdens in a criminal proceeding. You have to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the person you're accusing is actually guilty. Your job is to build a case so ironclad, with every i dotted and every t crossed, that no motion can destroy...

Emphasis mine. I have advised my client of this update.

My thanks to the Court for its prompt attention to this matter, and for its well-reasoned and fair response.

I'll do it tomorrow if noone else does it first.

We should probably do something about this >_>

Stop clearing my to-do list for me.

If you read the court rules, you'll note that the Court already interprets the existing clause in this way. Given its location in the broader context of the criminal legal code, it is not deemed to apply to civil matters. While this change would clarify that fact, reading that sentence apart...

Your plea of Not Guilty is accepted. Pre-trial motions will be accepted until 11:59PM on Monday, March 4th, unless either party needs more time.

I did not accept the indictment previously. I said I would accept it. Read my actual words, please. The Court is in agreement with me on how this matter has been handled, as far as I am aware, but you are free to take the issue to the full court if you like. As to your argument that he...

PunkD, part of legal reasoning is anticipating the arguments against your claims and accounting for them in your initial filing. I can't say that I see the need, necessarily, for the filing party to have a right to a response, particularly in your first proposed model. It draws out the process...

Much appreciated, your honor.

The Court of The North Pacific is now in session, and will hear the case of The North Pacific v. Kogvuron. Representing The North Pacific will be Iro, Prosecutor. Representing the Defendant will be TBD. Presiding over this case will be Gaspo, Justice and Trial Moderator, Hileville, Chief...

This request for review concerns the scheduling orders issued in TNP v. Eluvatar, which have resulted in a significant substantive reduction in the Defendant's right to a fair trial. While I do not believe that the Moderating Justice has necessarily committed clear errors in accordance with the...

Alright, time to open trial threads. I will not be opening a trial thread regarding Belschaft, for a number of reasons. Potential future offenses are not something the justice system punishes. Simple fact. Belschaft is, according to Eras/FEC, in full compliance with the law as of some time...
