Errors in the Court Rulings index

:hello:

I've been noticing a number of errors scattered through the rulings, so I'm going to post them here and hope that the current or soon-to-be-future Chief Justice can take care of them. I will add to this as necessary, and cross them off once they've been done. :)

  • In Ruling 2.3, the Judicial Inquiry filed by Cormac Stark on the usage of the Arms, Flag, and Seal of the North Pacific, the opening line is incorrect. It links to the post made by Iro (and uses his name) that was the subject of the immediately preceding request for review.
  • In Ruling 3.6, the Judicial Inquiry filed by Mall on the restarting of the Vice Delegate election, the "Opinion drafted by" line is erroneously placed after the opening line, and should swap places with it.
  • In many rulings, the "Opinion drafted by" line is missing altogether. I beg the Court to go through and add that in.
  • Formatting of the "Opinion drafted by" line is somewhat inconsistent, with it sometimes being centered, sometimes not; sometimes small sometimes not; sometimes italicized, sometimes not; sometimes spaced out, sometimes not. While I personally am partial to small, centered, and italicized, I beg the Court to pick a style and implement it.
  • Spoilers are unable to be opened on the Court Rulings Index, and thus their use renders the page, well, useless. Please edit the page to show the full text of all rulings. Specifically, the offenders are:
    • 1.3: The Judicial Inquiry filed by Unibot on Clause 9 of the Bill of Rights
    • 2.3: The Judicial Inquiry filed by Cormac Stark on the usage of the Arms, Flag, and Seal of the North Pacific
    • 3.4: The Judicial Inquiry filed by flemingovia on whether Justices are government officials.
    • 3.6: The Judicial Inquiry filed by Mall on the restarting of the Vice Delegate election
    • 3.7: The Judicial Inquiry filed by Abstain on the definition of Government Officials
    • 4.1: The Judicial Inquiry filed by Mall on the invalidation of his candidacy for the Delegate election
  • In Ruling 2.17, the Judicial Inquiry filed by r3naissanc3r Stark on the Minor Error Clause, the petitioner's name erroneously includes the word "Stark".
  • Ruling 8.1, on behalf of the Attorney General on the Court's Ruling issued on September 15, 2012, is missing the text of any referenced documents. Rulings generally quote the text in full since documents are frequently amended and thus their numbers are unreliable, so it would be beneficial if the texts could be added here.
I would additionally like to petition the Court to make the following title changes to issued rulings. The proposed new titles are more informative about the content of the request and ruling, and avoid needless ambiguity (for example, we currently have two rulings titled "review requested by X on the Speaker's Powers". Silly! Also in some cases they're pedantic nitpicks about capitalization.
  • 1.5: Please change from "the Jurisdiction of the Court" to "the Jurisdiction of the Criminal Code".
  • 2.1: Please change from "the Speaker's Powers" to "the Speaker's Power to Restrict the Format of Votes".

  • 6.2: Please change from "the crime of Fraud" to "Standard of Proof and Intent".
  • 6.3: Please change from "the Scope of Freedom of Information Act Requests" to "Freedom of Information Requests against the Judiciary".

I didn't know it was a fixable problem! Yes please! :tb2:
 
I will consult with the other Justices regarding this matter. Thanks for bringing this to the court's attention.
