Information:

Founded in March of 2007, A World Power was once one of the largest regions in Nationstates, and is currently re-building to its former glory! We as a region hold no specific political ideology, but nations organise themselves into Great Houses of likeminded individuals. The leaders of the three largest Houses form a Triumvirate which is responsible for leading the region. We believe in open elections for all citizens of our region and operate a one of the major defender forces in the game, which protects regions across Nationstates from invasion.

The legendary Rucket Park is full of polls, spam games and nonsense chat, our Role Playing Pavilion is the place for all your roleplaying needs, and the A World Power Center is where we get to know each other.

I feel that we should start using a jury for court cases.

This would be the layout:

For all cases that are between to people, and do not involve the state, i.e not like the gov case, the jury consists of two citizens and the judge.

For cases like the Gov case then it should involve the three judges and four citizens. If there are only two judges then three citizens and then if only one judge two citizens. So to put it in a formulae (maths geek :P) it would be c = j + 1 (c being citizens, j being judges) to form the jury.

Hope this isn't confusing.

Then we need to think of a way to pick the citizens.

Bassy also likes this idea.

I was thinking that if we trial this in the gov case, permitting Biain being ok with it, if he isn't there should be a case to trial it soon so no worries there.

This came up when I wrote the rights in court law, unfortunately we do not have the man power for this. Also with just 3 people and how forums work, a person who doesn't agree can stall a case for months

I disapprove of this idea as well.

You have the citizens outnumbering the judges, the individuals (supposedly) selected for impartiality and knowledge of the law.

Also, I do think there is the issue of activity on the forums. Requiring 7 individuals to sit in, for example, the Govindia case, is impractical, with 2 more as attorneys, and Gov. You would involve the effective entire active regional forum population (or more) in each major case.

I say let the judges do their job. If you have a problem with how they do it, propose an impeachment. Just be prepared to show GOOD reason for it.
