Remember when I did this a few years ago?: https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/9195616/
Let's do it again!

Side note on previous positions which you can all find in the previous thread, this is now the second time I've decided to run for Justice, and, just like last time, someone else is the CEC. Just noting the similarity. It's Deja Vu!

Q&A format. I don't have a particular platform other than some examples from the previous thread:
Sil Dorsett:
I admit that I don't have any spectacular platform on how to revolutionize the court, but being a Justice really isn't about that, in my opinion. It's about being there to listen to the facts, interpret the law, and deliver just and fair outcomes. I do aspire to be as concise and easily understandable as possible when writing decisions, but without omitting the facts and other important considerations. I'm also not afraid of the idea of writing concurring and dissenting opinions.

I am so confident someone would go back to that thread and ask me about that and whether my position has changed at all enough that I'm just going to jump ahead of that one and answer it straight away. No, it really hasn't. Look at the last term. Barely anything happened. But, that's the beauty of it. It is a reactionary job. And most of the job recently has been wiping out antiquated case law that got overwritten by new legislation. I'm happy to keep it that way. The less R4Rs about new governmentally shady shenanigans and less criminal cases for, well, criminal behavior, the better!

Will you make your fellow justices as Sim characters when you win?

I will absolutely do that again. I am going to make that a tradition for every time I end up on the bench.

Cretox:
Do you intend to try to bring back the AG...

That ship has sailed.
Now that you've seen some examples, I look forward to some brand new content from you. Let's hear it!

You would make a good EA Sports game designer, releasing the same game year after year and putting a $60 price tag on it despite changing hardly anything if anything at all. I think you've found your new calling!
 
Mr. Dorsett, 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?

There's pros and cons.

Pros:
The Regional Bar is made up of legal-oriented minds that are able to perform the same duties as the Attorney General in criminal trials, and there's more than one of them, meaning no one person is weighed down with everything.
The Court Examiner has the same universal standing as the Attorney General for R4Rs, which Tlomz has used to wonderful and great effect, but is more easily replaced should they decide to step aside.

Cons:
It used to be that only the Attorney General could bring indictments forward, thus preventing frivolous criminal charges from being levied and the court having to hear all of them. The Attorney General provided a filter, and now that filter is gone. Since then, we've seen some truly mind-boggling indictments, such as:

"Banning an Innocent Nation in the Region without any evidence."
"rejected my apology and just banned me like nothing happen."
"went and made an alt and raided the region"
"fraud to defame over an old mistake"
"banned me unfairly and TG harassed me after the ban."
"used the flag of TNP"
"spam, false information on TNP RMB Guidelines"
"used the flag and the name of our regional military,NPA without the government permission to do so.

All of this can be found here: https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/6989211/
Having someone be a filter for indictments would prevent this from happening.


EDIT: When I said "the court having to hear all of them", I did not mean that there was a trial for every single one of them. What I was pointing out was that the court had to make a decision in each of those whether to accept the indictment or not.
