They're on discord in Lily's main server, iirc.

Founder Succession
Many regions fall into difficulties due to their founder ceasing to exist. Founderless regions can be prone to raids. Wolfram and Hart offer a service to help avoid this. Founders can entrust their password to Wolfram and Hart, along with instructions as to how this should be used in the event that they CTE. Typically, the first step would be to revive the founder nation, then to entrust the password to an heir of the founder's choice.

The purpose is to look for contradictions, and any clauses that are unclear or redundant. Comments should address these issues only. Comments should not try to change the spirit of the original document.
I'll let the rest of the Wolfram and Hart legal team know, and we'll add commentary as we find the time.

The Constitution of the OEU, to be reviewed
We already approved it and it is law now but some insight would be nice
The Constitution of the United Nations
of the Official European Union
Table of Articles
1. Bill of rights
2. OEU Regional Government
3. OEU Political Parties
4. OEU Parliament
5. OEU Government Officials
6. OEU criminal procedures
1. Bill of Rights
1. All nations are entitled to immediate citizenship*
2. All nations are entitled to rp freely within reason
3. All nations are free to run there nation as they please
4. All nations may join political partys and run in elections
5. All nations have a right to free speech within reason
6. All nations have a right to a fair trial
7. All nations have a right to sue other nations
8. All nations have the right to give their ideas on how the government should be run. If a nation has an idea for a new law, they can bring their request to their delegate who will bring it up at the next Parliamentary meeting.
*If previously banned from the OEU you must register for citizenship with the Minister of Defense
ANALYSIS OF BILL OF RIGHTS:
The * put by 1. about being previously banned needs clarification. If someone is banned how could they be allowed back into a Region? Keep in mind when you banject someone they are also listed on the Admin page and can't reenter a Region. This will need to be addressed I think. Also please check look at the inconsistencies this may have with your Penal/Legal/Sentencing codes.
On point 4 and all other point when you say "all nation's" do nation's require Citizenship to do something like for example run for an election? This needs stated I think.
Point 8 is a little confusing and is somewhat contrary to the rest of the document. I don't know that simply proposing legislation through a Delegate should be put into a Bill of Rights.
2. OEU Regional Government
-Consists of many different political parties
-Consists of a Parliament. The OEU Parliament consists of two houses. The house of Delegates and the Senate
-Consists of five Regional officers, four of which are voted for
-Consists of a Supreme Court ran by a Head Justice
3. OEU Political Parties
-All Nations may join a political party if they meet the parties requirements
-All Nations may form their own party
-Parties are eligible to be represented in Parliament if they have at least two members
-By joining a party, you are eligible to run in elections or attend the OEU parliament.
-The leader of a party with the most members becomes the Prime Minister
-Parties may be ran at the leaders own discretion
-It is the Parties job to choose their Delegates and Senators
4. OEU Parliament
-The Parliament is made up of the House of Delegates and the Senate
The House of Delegates
The House of Delegates will be made up of delegates from each party. For every three people in a party there will be one appointed delegate in the house for that party. The delegates in the parliament will make the bills that the nations of the OEU bring up. The Chancellor of the OEU will act as the head of the House of Delegates and is responsible for holding meetings where the law making process will take place. At one such meeting, if a bill is successfully aggreed upon by majority rule ,then the bill must be passed by the Senate.
The Senate
The Senate will consist of two members from each party. The Senates job is to anylize any bill passed by the House of Delegates. Once the house passes a bill to the Senate, the Senate has the ability to officially make the bill a law with a majority vote. If the bill is approved by the Senate, then the Prime Minister can make it an official law. The Prime Minister will act as head of the Senate and is responsible for holding frequent meetings.
ANALYSIS OF OEU PARLIAMENT:
I can't really find anything wrong with this section. You did misspell "analyize" under to the Senate section.
5. OEU Regional Officers
-The OEU Regional Officers are made up of 5 different officials each having there own responsibility.
-Any and all of these officers can be impeached if there is failure in preforming there duties. Impeachment may be brought up by any nation to the Founder or Chancellor who will bring the accusations to the Senate. The Senate will be responsible for holding a vote where if 2/3 vote impeachment, the officer will be relieved of his or her duties.
Founder
-Founder of the OEU
-Has executive Authority
-The ONLY nation who may hold two officer positions. (Both being Founder and a different officer position)
-May NOT abuse the Executive power
Prime Minister
-The leader of the Senate and is responsible for holding frequent meetings
-Has authority to appoint Chancellor
-The Prime Minister is appointed by the party with the most members
-The Prime Minister has power to appoint temporary Officers
-The Prime Minister has veto power
-The Prime Minister has the power to quickly and effectively eject nations that are known threats to the region or other nations
-The Prime Minister has the power to declare war
-The Prime Minister is allowed to create quick and effective legislation within reason in times of national emergency
-The Prime Minister has the power to declare a National Emergency.
-Controls Border control, communications, polls, appearance, and embassies.
ANALYSIS OF PRIME MINISTER:
When you say that the Prime Minister may appointment Temporary Officers, what is a Temporary Officer? Are they simply meant to fill a vacancy or meant for a temporary agency?
Also on the point of "quick and effective legislation" do you mean he can create law entirely with out the legislative branch?
That's something a court would have trouble with I think.
Chancellor
-Appointed by the Prime Minister
-Leader of the House of Delegates and is responsible for holding frequent meetings.
-Is next in command and has the authority to carry out the Prime Ministers jobs if the Prime Minister is unable to do so
-Can carry out quick and efficient ejections of nations that are known threats to the region or other nations
-Has the power to give awards and honorary ceremonies to nations that have preformed a good deed to the region.
-Controls Border control, communications, polls, appearance and embassies
Minister of Defense
-The Minister of Defense is responsible to moniter potential threats to the region
-The Minister of Defense has the power to eject a nation known to be a threat quickly and efficiently.
-Elected every month*
-Can declare war if the circumstances call for quick and immediate action
-Controls Border Control, Communications, embassies
ANALYSIS OF DEFENSE:
Misspelled "monitor". Also what is meant by monitor? Is there an intelligence agency involved or just monitoring in general?
WA Delegate
-The WA delegate is responsible for representing the OEU in the world assembly
-The WA delegate is responsible for administering foreign embassies.
-The WA delegate is the ambassador to the OEU and therefore must be active in International affairs
-Controls WA power and embassies
-Elected through endorsements
ANALYSIS OF WA Delegate:
Under 1. You say "representing" but a lot of Regions have a voting law or some other requirement for the Delegate. Perhaps this should be given more detail and procedure.
Head Justice
-In charge of the Supreme court
-May call forth new amendments to the Constitution
-May rule any laws unconstitutional and therefore making the law non-existant. (Parliament may overturn the unconstitutional ruling with 2/3 vote from each house
-The Head judge when dealing with criminal cases and lawsuits
-Voted into position every month and a half
ANALYSIS OF HEAD JUSTICE:
In my opinion you should leave amendments to the legislative branch. It's better to keep a judge out of direct politics for a more impartial judicial system.
The OEU Government
-Executive: Carrys out laws, can veto laws. Prime Minister
-Parliament: Makes the laws. Senate and House of Delegates
-Supreme court: Interprets the laws. Head Justice
6. Criminal procedures
-Unless somone is found an immediate threat they CANNOT be ejected or banned without a fair trial
-If they do not oblige to the trial within 24 hours then they may be ejected without trial
-The trial will be judged by the head Justice
-In a trial, the prosecutor (which may be a government officer) must state his claim. Your are INNOCENT untill proven guilty
-If found innocent you will be freed without question
-If found guilty, the Head Justice will apply punishment which may result in expulsion
ANALYSIS OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE:
The second point about not obliging needs fixed. If you mean not obliging in the sense that the Defendant won't enter a Guilty or Not Guilty plea then there is a procedure called Standing Mute. The Court enters this plea on behalf of the Defendant if they refuse to plea. It has the effect of a Not Guilty plea and the case automatically goes to trial.
Also I noticed there is no stated burden of proof for the prosecutor. It should be beyond a reasonable doubt.
Finally, under the point on applying punishment I think there should be some sort of sentencing code or guide line giving the judge a minimum and maximum sentencing range. Otherwise the judge has to much push and pull which may violate impartiality.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note that this is only my independent analysis of your query and does not represent all of the possible differing legal opinions of the law firm.

Edit: Seems my code is dodgy, and each nation counts as two hits to NS. We're allowed 50 hits per 30 seconds, or else we get blocked for 15 mins. Until I can figure out how to make a nation count as only one hit, this code should be used for a max of 25 nations.
What
Use this code to log in to a list of your puppets with the push of one button. Handy to stop them CTEing!
How
On your PC or laptop, open a text editor, like Notepad. Copy the code (below) into the editor.
Put your own email address in the code (place indicated by all the asterisks).
Put your own Nation names and passwords in the code (place indicated by all the asterisks).
REMEMBER: If you share your computer, then potentially someone else will have access to these passwords.
Save the file as “PuppetLogin.html”
Check the filename. If it saved as “PuppetLogin.html.txt” or similar, rename it to “PuppetLogin.html”.
When you open the file again, it should get opened in your browser by default. You should see a black page with “Wolfram & Hart” written across the top.
When you click the button, the code should send login requests to NS. NS then sends a response back. The code associated with the response gets displayed on your webpage.
Why
Yes, I know there's already code out there that you can download. But I don't like downloading things, and I like to know how things work. So I wrote code that needs no downloading, and is filled with explanatory comments.
HTML can be written in a simple text editor, and JavaScript can be embedded directly in HTML. Both will be recognised by your browser without the need for any other software or downloads. So they're what I used.
This is the first time I've properly tried to code HTML and JavaScript, so I've added comments at practically every line of code, explaining what it does. That also means users know exactly what they are getting.
