Lord Dominator for Justice XVI

[Lord Dominator]

I am once again running for Justice. It has been a fair time I believe since I was last elected Justice, but my experience on the court is quite extensive as is my legal experience off of it.

Questions are as welcome as always

 

[mcmasterdonia]

Should we consider abolishing judicial elections

 

[Lord Dominator]

Should we consider abolishing judicial elections

The realistic alternative is delegate appointments or some weird form of permanent non-elected body, so I would say no

 

[Sil Dorsett]

How do you suppose we could make the position of Justice more interesting and thus make it a desirable position and Make Elections Competitively Hostile Again?

 

[Simone]

Full support.

Get more people to commit crimes/get the rest of the government to do more legally dubious things.

More seriously, I don’t know. I do personally intend to at least bring back up dropping more of the office-holding restrictions so at least all of the Ministers & Deputy Speakers aren’t also locked out, but fundamentally I do think it’ll always be hard to engender interest in a position that needs three people but is fundamentally reactive on a very inconsistent basis.

Lord of the Dominators, in your opinion, do you feel that the Regional Bar and Court Examiner system have been a significant improvement to the previous Attorney General system it replaced? And if so, why?

Yes and no. It’s certainly improved in terms not having a quasi-useless (from lack of things to do) election every 4 months and being somewhat more accessible. On the other hand, the delay from waiting for a prosecutor whenever there’s a trial is fairly annoying.
