[Private] Proposed rule change as per due process

Mall and I came up with the idea of changing the process a bit to speed things up as per processing court cases.

1.) Court cases may be heard by just one justice who can render a decision.

2.) An appeal a decision to the entire court (all justices hearing the case) can be made provided the person appealing can:


a.) Produce new evidence germane to the case that may alter the decision;

b.) Produce sufficient evidence that due process was denied;

c.) That a mistrial occurred due to improper procedure, conflict of interest, etc.

3.) A decision to deny an appeal must be made by a unanimous vote of the three justices.


Any thoughts on this application of the rules or change in rules if needs be?

Point 3- a simple majority should suffice in my opinion.

True. Let me tweak it a bit and come up with a straight-forward text for a rule change to this effect.

Considering that the deliberation of the justices only lasts 48 hours maximum, I don't think this change would really be worth it - every case would be appealed on some grounds, and most or all of them would probably be accepted.

Besides, the people elected all three of us to rule on cases. I think this might put too much power in the hands of the chief justice to assign moderating justices, if the MJ is the only one making the opinion.

That is also true. I must ponder this point a while.
