NationStates

The year is 2016, and a plethora of lawsuits await the chamber, interpreting legal loopholes and the constitutional rights in the age of the internet has never been harder.
Sign up as a clerk, a defense attorney, the Solicitor General, or a Justice, and debate and vote on cases. The future of the constitution is in your hands.

There will be three threads for this RP: voting, oral debates, and OOC. Once we get a Solicitor General, 5 Justices, and one defense attorney, we will be ready to begin. I have already sketched outlines for the cases and will make the IC thread soon. Right now we have 1/7 people. 6 to go!

What makes this thread so great?
This is for experienced RPers; but goes at a slow pace so less commitment is required.

Hello, I am the defence council in this supreme court rp. I will also be acting as a moderator, accepting or denying applications. I approve of everyone who has applied, but I must insist that you apply on this forum. Also, on another note we need justices of the court so consider that if you apply. Thats a nice way of saying "just apply for a justice you idiot, and have a nice day." (Joking)

Accepted, have a nice day!
PS: You dont have to put the kingdom of
Akarjaall, just the name of the country. For example, when you sign in you sign in as the nation name only (for me Holy Roman Empires2, not the empire of HRE2)

Ok, you’re actually accepted, I didn’t know akrafjall was a real place sorry
