Still not in a rush, but I would like some feedback on my suggestions.

I'm bumping here because, with a fairly active court examiner, there's a possibility that one of us may be recused off a case, and if that happens we will need the special chambers.

Sorry for the delay. Here's the draft. @Pallaith as the other rulings are also on rulings that are superseded (By legislation or adopted procedures by the relevant body) I would suggest that we either post the other rulings after this one (And refer back to this one in those rulings) or adopt...

This may be better than the last handful of condemn TCB resolutions, but that's like saying someone has a better record than Stalin in Ukraine; not exactly a compliment, at best damning with faint praise, and the comparison alone puts it in a loathsome category. Against.

I like the invalidate phrasing. That would distinguish it nicely from overturned or defunct rulings. I'll come back with more substantial comments, but as with Eluvatar it looks good at a glance.

The deadline for briefs has passed. The Court will now deliberate.

Yeah, I have been doing other things this week but I have time today, so will also see if I can get the draft opinion done.

Do we really have to do this again? Against.

Defunct works for me too. I'll come back with a first draft of the ruling soon, probably during the weekend.

This is what I tried to say, for example here: If it doesn't come across that way then I'll rework it. I agree, and I hope that was clear from my notes. I was thinking along those lines when writing the notes. I would use them as a basis for that signpost. The ruling itself can be very short...

I jotted down a few preliminary thoughts about the process of voiding rulings (Rather than overturning them). It overlaps with the ruling cited in the R4R, but expands somewhat on the considerations and process...

The Court accepts the request for review. I will serve as Moderating Justice. As the challenged action is a previous ruling by this Court, there is no responsible government official who can be recognised as the respondent. The Court invites any interested party to submit briefs pertinent to...

I'm back to my PC in an hour or two, will get going on it then unless Elu takes it before. I wouldn't want to strike down more than just the one, but I would probably outline that Court rulings that are superceded by legislation would generally be voided where that legislation is in conflict...

A gentle reminder that the questions I put above are supposed to offer a direction to your reading/listening, and not be the limiting factor to it. I am a fan of the socratic method of teaching, but that only works if you think about both how you'd answer and how you arrive at that answer (and...

We have a case. https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/9197320/ I would take it, as would Pallaith (per Discord). Do any of you want to be moderating Justice? From a quick scan I believe it's an easy case because the ruling has been superceded by legislation. That would void the ruling as...

By request from Bobberino, I will host a voice chat class on Wednesday 19th. We will begin at 2300 Central European Time. The class is not a lecture by me but a discussion amongst the attendees, so you're free to tune in even if you haven't done the reading, but you will gain the most by going...

Just to check: if not even admins can see it, a future Justice presumably can't either? Because they will need to once it becomes time to declassify?

On a different note, as the trial of St George is over, I would like access to the Special Chambers restored, and I believe that Pallaith's will also need to be restored.

The Court has elected me to serve as Chief Justice for the term. As Chief Justice I have received notice of the selection of @TlomzKrano as Court Examiner, and I hereby confirm their appointment. TlomzKrano please take your oath.

@Eluvatar what do you think? Would you be good with me continuing as CJ?

I had planned on not running, until the events of the last months convinced me otherwise, so this has to be my last ride this time around. And yeah, I would make sure to not be in your way.

I'm not in a rush for comments, so just take your time. And, as any attempted reform will certainly be better received if we are in agreement, I would much rather take our time talking it through than rush out of the chambers with a half-baked idea.

Just to check, do you want it or would you accept it? I would prefer to continue as CJ, but I recognise that in terms of votes, I'm third in the queue, so as I said, I won't fight to keep the title (Especially as I lack good arguments for why I should -- 'it fuels my ego' and 'I am happy to do...

Yes, I probably should have made a separate topic for this. To just make sure we're on the same page, there's nothing here I suggest we do unilaterally. Some of it definitely requires changes to the legal code and/or buy-in from e.g. the Bar Members, and some should at least be up for public...

May 19, 2023. [09:34]Pallaith, King of the North: @Lord Dominator I thought we were past this [09:34]Pallaith, King of the North: See ya on the next merry go round, if you even see this message by the time you’re around May 19, 2023. [10:21]Pallaith, King of the North: @Attempted Socialism the...

Probably should have made a separate thread, yeah. Will take it there, and elaborate a bit, because I know that it has to be carefully thought through, and I did not think of it as the Court acting unilaterally, but rather that if we agree on suggestions, we put them forward as a unanimous...

Alright, with the election over let's get the paperwork sorted. I'll see if I can take care of the declassification of 1-year old materiel tonight. I'll also copy the Discord material to a thread so it's there for later declassification. By nr of votes Pallaith is in line for the position as...

I, Attempted Socialism, do hereby solemnly swear that during my term as Justice, I will uphold the ideals of Democracy, Freedom, and Justice of The Region of The North Pacific. I will use the powers and rights granted to me through The North Pacific Constitution and Legal Code in a legal...

Hello dear students! Some of you have asked whether I would be interested in hosting a lesson on a topic I know something about. I put out feelers to those who expressed the most interest, and they picked Politics of Authoritarian Rule by Milan Svolik. However, as I suspect that most of you...

If it's an instance of vexatious prosecution, the Court should have been able to clear your name in a timely fashion, and bringing the legal system to a standstill should have been utterly unnecessary. If the reform I suggest here had been in place, and the prosecutor had not been confident that...
