OP Updated.

I've decided to decline Raven's nomination of me for Justice for a couple of reasons.

The first is because I feel I don't have a nearly adequate grasp on the laws and precedents in TNP to act as Justice quite yet, and feel that I need to focus more on studying the criminal & civil code as a Deputy Attorney General under Tomb. The second is it simply feels like position hopping, which I don't want to do really. If it's alright, I'd prefer to finish my term as Deputy AG before accepting nominations for further offices in the government. Thanks for the nomination though!


Thirding the nomination of TGR by the way.

I accept, and nth TGR

I accept my nomination.
