Factol Hashkar,
I have returned from my excursion studying the many of laws of the planes. Since my return, I have become aware of a murder and pending trial for one Catarianna Erianne. I have reviewed the records of the case and would make a request. I believe that I have met the requirements to rule as a judge in a trial such as this, and would like the opportunity to do so.
Awaiting your positive response,

You have the concent and authority to initiate a trial and decide which the time of the courts opening and closure. You will be provided a single baliff, at least two members of the Harmonium will be present for security reasons and a Mercykiller.
To fully authorise this however you will need the accused name and the accuser, without an accuser the accused cannot go under trial and will automatically be given a not-guilty sentance.
Further more, the prosecution and defence "Must" have a Lawyer present, unless either has elected to defend themselves willingly.
Once this has been authorised, you may have full approval to use the court room of your choosing on the time of your choosing. You will also hear fairly and equally the cases presented by both parties. You will decide in your own judgement a jury of citizens unrelated to the case no less than 5 may be present at the court at a time, you must select ten and all of them must "not" be related to the case in any way or form less it will open entitlement to a re-hearing.
"When" the case is presented, before the jury reaches a verdict and before the court has made a decision, first the order of rights must be attended to.
The traditions:
- At the begining of the case in session all must rise for the judge to gaze upon all faces present. Any who refuse will severley damage their right to be present in the house of court and any who attempt to damage the case will be forcefully evicted from the room.
- If any present have attempted to damage the case, the court will be adjourned and the jury must be dismantled and a new jury selected and reassembled. The prosecution and defence aswell as the accused and accuser will remain the same.
- If at this point no damage has been done to the case, all will seat themselves. The Prosecution will then make their accusation to the accused and deliver the full length of their case explination to the jury. At which point the judge must request the accused to reply if they are guilty or not guilty.
- If the accused states they are guilty, the sentance is automatically passed and they will be delivered to the Mercykillers. The Punishment level is decided by the judge.
- If the accused states they are not guilty, the trial may continue unhindered. The defence will then place their case to the jury in defence of the accused and attempt to explain their case.
- The Prosecution will then bring in their first witness to reinforce their claim. They will present questions to the witness untill they are ready for the defence cross examination. Likewise, the defence will also present witnesses which will then be questioned by the prosecution once their statements have been given.
- During this time, evidence may be given in physical form to counter an argument made by either parties witnesses. The intent of which is to assatain the truth from the witness should there be reason to doubt their claims.
- When there are no further witnesses on either party and no further claims made to present evidence, the jury will give their verdict. The Judge will then, based on the jury's decision, rule guilty or not guilty.
- If the party is ruled not guilty, they will go free undeterred of crime and the prosecution will make no further claim on them untill a new crime is commited and reason is needed to bring a new trial.
- If the party is ruled guilty, then by the order of punishments and sentances, the judge may then decide what punishment is best appropriate, be it sentance to the prison, community service or public execution.
- If the party is sentanced to the prison, their punishment will be mete out by the Mercykillers for an appropriate time determined by the Judge.
- If the party is sentanced to community service. The Service and action will be decided by the judge over a number of years.
- If the party is sentanced to execution, the date will be decided and the accused will be given permission to a confessor of their faith or a last rights member of service to provide farewells to any loved ones or companions they may know. Once their confession is given and their loved ones informed, they will be sentanced to public death by a means determined by the judge.
- When the case is adjourned, the judge must then provide all recorded minuates to the court of law immediatley and a copy of the minuates to the plane of mechanus for further study.
When all of these matters are directly attended to Administrator, then you will be given full right to the judge authority to authorise the court.
Untill then, you will require the accused full name, her defence full name, the accusers full name and the prosecutions full name.
Continue with the fraternities blessings, Administrator.
