Saluti! My name is Dinoium. I have been the Deputy Attorney General since July 20, 2018. I was appointed by former Attorney General Goyanes following Dero's disappearance and Asta being elected to the Court. I have been involved in lots of things since then. I helped serve as the Special Investigator for the redacted Bill Kennedy RoI along with been Deputy twice under Crushing Our Enemies. However, many people have started to see the Attorney General's office as useless. Something new members could easily take. Something that could be taken out of the law and wouldn't affect anything like an appendix. This is all incorrect. The Attorney General's office plays an important role in regional politics and always has. Indicting people isn't it's only duties but it is definitely one of those. We have attempted to indict Bill Kennedy in October, attempting to finally end this "AG curse" but we failed. Yet, we tried. We have continued to do our other duties meanwhile and yet people see us as useless. This office is obviously isn't a target for new people. This office is currently occupied by experienced legal minds. COE has been here for years and especially been heavily involved in our regional laws. And in September last year and January this year, the office wasn't really challenged by any newcomers. Goy was already an incumbent and former Deputy and Yuno had been Deputy Speaker while also being a member for some time. We need an independent judiciary and independent prosecution office. Out of the hands of Executive bureaucrats. We need to fight corruption. As such, I have decided to step out of the side-light and throw my hat into the ring in order to save the Attorney General's office.
Deputy Attorney General (TNP)
I basically explained this in my introduction but to say it simply here again: I was adopted in July to fill in for the disappearance of Dero and Asta becoming a Justice. I have served for 2 and a half terms. Not much else to say.
Supreme Court Judge (Tatenda)
I became a Supreme Court Judge in Tatenda back in March of this year following one of my friends who was the Chief Judge's advice and was recommended to their President who proceeded to nominate me to the Senate and was unanimously confirmed. I was the leading voice in the Supreme Court's case Cardinal V. Islander and would post the Supreme Court case's information on a dispatch. Eventually, Chief Judge Eisentach officially announced their retirement and has recommended me to succeed him. I will most likely succeed him however currently the court only has 3 judges (excluding We The People as they have been inactive for 5 or 6 months). Once we are able to find a new candidate for the job, I will most likely become the Chief.
Legal Policy Advisor of the Imperialist Party (Force)
This isn't a governmental position but I mean it still adds to my resume. Basically, I help check party policies and check their legality and overall is the law advisor to the Party.
Department of Justice member (Pacifica)
Again, this is very similar to the above. Not a major governmental position but it adds to the resume. If I recall correctly, I am at the moment the only member in the Department following the former Department head resigning.
Office Internship and Divisions
Something I think we need to expand on the activity of this office. Many people complain that there is not a lot of people interested in the judicial side of our region. That not a lot of people are getting involved or care for the Attorney General position. Well, I have a solution. We need more hands in this office and need to train people to become future Deputies and maybe eventually future AG. I propose introducing an AG office internship. Basically, this is similar to my court clerk proposal when I ran for Justice but of course, adjusted to fit the AG office. An application thread will be opened in The Docks titled "Applications for Legal Office Internship". I'm calling the thread Legal Office obviously due to the fact that the AG office is the official law-mandated legal office and I don't want to make the title very long like "Applications for Attorney General Office Internship". This has a better ring to it in my opinion. I'm going to base this off of the Executive Staff thread and lay back requirements. This, of course, will not be mandated by law and an optional thing just like the Speaker's Staff or Executive Staff. My plan then is to work with the Gameside Advocates and the Home Affairs Ministry to help advertise the new program and of course, announce it in the AG subforum. There will be 3 divisions. Criminal, FIRST STOP, and Resolution. The Criminal division will specialize in looking for lawbreakers and will help with drafting Requests of Indictments. I do want to be somewhat soft and not prosecute everyone in sight but I definitely think we can tell the difference between accidental and purposely. The accident lawbreakers will, of course, be reported and we will warn them as I don't want to prosecute innocents or at least not purposely guilty people. If they discard our warnings, we may take further steps. The FIRST STOP division, of course, will focus on Requests for Reviews and help draft the AG office's opinions and advice on the matter. We will also work on how to encourage people to approach the AG office for assistance with drafting their R4Rs. We will never turn down an offer but we will take procedures to perhaps amend their drafts heavily if needed to just to succeed. And, of course, they will focus on helping assist with improving and reviewing drafted R4Rs as part of the FIRST STOP program. Finally, the Resolution division will be aimed with focusing on the legality of proposed Regional Assembly resolutions and giving advice for it to succeed. They will also help draft resolutions for the Regional Assembly to help benefit the Attorney General office and the judiciary. Hopefully, it may bring some more activity to the judiciary. Finally, they will work with the World Assembly Affairs Ministry (if they wish) with reviewing resolutions introduced to Sponsorship and give advice for it to succeed and be legally binding as well. All of these interns will be taught about the TNP's Laws, fact facts about them, their history, etc. upon request. The internship, of course, won't only be new people and I encourage everyone residing within this region, within you have been here for a few days or years, to join. And it's always good to have a law refresher. Also if they are in the Executive Staff, we can provide them to the Ministries or the Delegate if they ever request legal advice upon request. Otherwise, we will encourage them to become Justices and or Attorney General in the future and continue staying involved in the office. Nonactive interns will be placed in an auxiliary like category so if we ever really need them, we can always call them in. And of course, finally, they will be given access to the Attorney General office server. They won't replace Deputies and Deputies will continue to be high ranking members of the office and have many duties but they will also be mentors to these interns and help supervise the Office.
Coat of Arms "situation"
So, I think we are now starting to notice a pattern. As Deputy, I have repeatedly found accidental violators of Section 10.1.5 of the Legal Code. This really concerns me and I think we need to start taking further action to deal with this. If elected, I will draft up a dispatch/thread warning all residents of the region about this and how to avoid violating this part of the law. Some things would be using alternatives (which I will list in the warning) to the CoA, overall violating it, and the Unibot issue. I don't want anyone ending up like Unibot who used the then CoA illegally. I want to work with the Home Affairs Ministry to release an announcement to the region with the warning (along with the dispatch and thread linked). Now, this issue will always exist as for other issues, but if we take further actions, we can slash the number of these accidental violations.
Reopening the AG office Discord and Discord FOIA
As you may not know, the AG office actually has a discord server. Well, used to. It still exists but is locked and archived. I think I have seen some people suggest having one or reviving it (probably a minority but I'll get to that). I think there should be one just because it's easier to host certain discussions in the office than a group chat which is all merged together. It's a big clutter in my opinion. And even if a group chat is better, this wouldn't be so beneficial to my internship plan and FOIA. The server mainly will only contain the AG, Deputies, Court, interns, and the Administration. However, if the Administration is fine with the server and allowing exceptions, I will allow residents within the server if they have good reasoning and approach me first. If you were there for a previous term or something, I will discuss with the Administration about you staying. Now, what if the Administration says no? Well, perhaps not all of the Administration wants to be involved but that is totally fine. As long as they approve of me reopening the server with this proposed stuff, I will do so and they will have all server permissions along with being the highest role. Of course, this is not confirmed but perhaps if COE is willing to stay and approve, I will allow them to supervise along with any other Administrator that joins and if it's approved. Regarding FOIA. Every term, I will deposit all of the server logs and messages into the back office for the Administration and office to see. Then, by law, after one year, it will be publicly released in the Law Office archives. And, of course, the Administration will be able to see everything in the server so I don't believe there will be much of a problem. This whole issue if elected might be adjusted just to compromise with the Administration but I can confirm I will try to reopen the AG office server.
Deputies and Advisory
I'm going to make this one very simple. I plan on forming an office Advisory to help advise me, the Deputies, and interns during the term. I and the Advisory will personally train my Deputies some of the office basics and TNP laws if they, of course, aren't aware of them already and I will train them for an emergency in case I resign, step back for a few days (leave of absence), or get recalled. I will, of course, appoint the Deputy with the most experience and knowledge to most likely be the designated AG. They will be mentors to the interns and will be assigned to lead the divisions. As a note, the Advisory won't be required by law to exist like the interns.
Recruitment and Law Education
So this will also be simple. Recruitment will be done as said before with the help of the Home Affairs Ministry and the Gameside Advocates. We will also expand our recruitment via TNL and other means. Law Education is a term I'm using to describe my plan to educate our residents about our laws and legal history. I will try to sort this out with the Chancellor of TNPU to get this done.
Others and Suggestions
I still plan on introducing more but I can't think of any off the top of my head and we still need more to help the office. So I'm open to suggestions. Whether you're new or old, experienced with the law or not, etc. Just comment or contact me your suggestions. We need everything we can get to save the tradition.
"Controversies" around me
So, as aspected, I assume that people will bring up some of my past history or something to hurt me. Let me clear some stuff up: I'm aware of the whole incompetence thing. The fact is that I never want to be incompetent. However, I do have a lot to do. But I have the passion to make sure that if elected, I won't let this be an incompetent term. Legal Affairs really interest me both NS and RL wise and this will give me the courage to be active. To any others, I apologize for making those bad decisions and hope to keep them in the past and continue to improve.
Other Law Position Experience
Okay so I didn't get the job but I'll explain why and why I wrote this section. I applied to join Wolfram and Hart. A former big NS law firm. After a week, the maintainer of the law firm told them that I was a great candidate for the job and they didn't necessarily say this (or probably they did, I forgot) but I might have been accepted if it weren't for this: the maintainer was just too busy to run the law firm anymore and in a way it's defunct until he can get the time (if that ever comes). But as they said, I was a great candidate for the job and probably if they were to continue to exist, I probably would have been accepted. I didn't include it above just because I didn't get the job but I thought it was worth mentioning that I was considered a "great candidate" for the job.
