I will be asking the court to suspend the one outstanding trial, and will not be submitting additional charges to the court until an issue with the moderation team is sorted out. Our Bill of Rights requires public trials and protects individuals against the right to incriminate themselves while...

The Office of the Attorney General hereby announces the commencement of a new investigation. Pursuant to information provided by the Executive branch, this Office will immediately begin investigating allegations that Solm approached Blue Wolf to offer support and enticement in an attempt to...

I wanted to take a minute to update the people of The North Pacific regarding the investigation into the Ravania incident. As many of you know, Ravania's trial is proceeding efficiently, and its conclusion is expected within the next two weeks. While the wheels of justice may turn more slowly...

There seems to be a lot of frustration with the judicial system, in a number of areas, so instead of firing off legislation without actually discussing the underlying issues, I figure the RA ought to actually talk about what it thinks is wrong, and perhaps those of us who are actually involved...

The FOIA contains, in relevant part, the following provision: The Constitution, which incorporates the Bill of Rights as equally binding and supreme over other laws, contains the following provision: The Bill of Rights provides the following protections to all nations of The North Pacific...

Welcome to the Office of the Attorney General. Pursuant to the Constitution and the Legal Code, this Office is responsible for prosecuting all criminal matters in The North Pacific, investigating government actions for their legality as seen fit by this Office, and to conduct other activities...

I have an open-door policy, but I reserve the right to slam the door in your face if you're being daft. Any questions?

All individuals interested in serving as a Deputy are asked to submit the following form via PM, to me. Applications are accepted continuously, and are considered as they are received. There exists no minimum or maximum number of Deputies this office requires; those who meet my requirements...

I'm tired, and tipsy, so now is the perfect time to write this thread. I'm running for Attorney General. You should vote for me. Here's why (besides the fact that I have an undefeated record vs the last Attorney General in court). Also, the Court has yet to disagree with me on any of the...

The Court of The North Pacific is now in session, and will hear the case of The North Pacific v. Kogvuron. Representing The North Pacific will be Iro, Prosecutor. Representing the Defendant will be TBD. Presiding over this case will be Gaspo, Justice and Trial Moderator, Hileville, Chief...

This request for review concerns the scheduling orders issued in TNP v. Eluvatar, which have resulted in a significant substantive reduction in the Defendant's right to a fair trial. While I do not believe that the Moderating Justice has necessarily committed clear errors in accordance with the...

http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/7008426/1/ Grosse has had an opportunity to respond - we could either a) enter a default in favor of Flem, citing failure to answer after reasonable notice has been given, or b) grant an in absentia trial. I'm inclined toward (a). Thoughts?

Advisory Opinion of the Court of the North PacificIn regards to the events occurring in the course of The North Pacific v. Unibot Given recent actions taken by the Attorney General, which sought to bypass the judicial fact-finding process and undermine the authority conferred upon this Court by...

See HERE So looking first to post 2 in that thread, COE's thing, because it's easy: No. Just no. He's asking us to only be able to review the policies of our own branch, and nothing else. Completely undermines the principle of judicial review, and the checks and balances our governmental...

The speaker is supposed to maintain order in the RA. The proposal in question was not legitimate. I am of the opinion that a ruling stating that the Speaker's powers are broad, and his discretion in administering the RA is significant, but that it is implied by his position that he will not...

So, we're not even sure we need to rule on this, but in the sense of shutting down frivolity it wouldn't hurt for us to discourage "OMG RUN TO THE COURTS" by making a ruling which basically amounts to "there is no harm, and all evidence indicates that the mistake was an honest one. As such, the...

I suppose we ought to get to work on this. General legal principles hold that the answer to his questions are "Yes" and "No". The whole point of a right against self-incrimination is undermined if utilization of that right constitutes roughly equivalent evidence of guilt, as would have been...

He's entered a guilty plea, which I have accepted. PunkD recommends a 30-day forum ban; the law authorizes us to do anything we want, basically. We can have him ejected and banned ingame, restrict his rights on the forums and in the region as much as we want, and/or have him forum-banned. I...

Hey, just wanted to check in now that I'm properly masked. Obviously I won't rule on TNP v. JAL, or any of the requests for review which I've put before the court, but I'm good to go on everything else - no conflicts present themselves, nor will I be serving as an attorney for anything unless...

May it please the court, Upon review of the relevant sections of the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Legal Code, I feel compelled to call into question the constitutionality of Legal Code Chapter 1 Section 1.3.8, defining Sedition as a crime. This section is reproduced below, followed by...

I'll keep this short. Judges are supposed to be impartial, after all. There's no point in telling you what my policies would be, because it frankly doesn't matter. What matters is whether or not you think I can faithfully and objectively interpret, understand, and apply the law. I think I...

There is ambiguity in the legal code regarding the procedure for taking office. The legal code in its current form exhibits ambiguity, in which the oath which is required to exercise a position's powers must be posted within a week of the end of the election, but the law simultaneously states...

Under the terrestrial law of Real Life (tm) there generally exists a duty on the part of the prosecution of a criminal matter, to disclose any evidence of an exculpatory nature which is relevant to a case. This duty manifests after a plea has been entered. No such duty is explicitly defined...

Note: I made a typo in my first sentence of paragraph one. It should read "The prosecution misinterprets..." Any admin or justice may exercise their ability to change that; you have my permission to modify my comment.
