Judge Advocates Courtyard
Edit
Overall Responsibilities
All levels within the JA Courtyard are responsible for managing submitted punishments. They will provide quality audits on punishments requested to ensure they are fair and fall within set guidelines. They will review and cast decisions and process all disputes and appeals. Responsible for reviewing and validating evidence, questioning witnesses as it relates to various cases. Process warning points and any required discharges.
Brigadier General JA
Responsible for ensuring their team is participating and completing the tasks that are assigned. Ensure that communication is transparent on all issues within the department. Provide training of new procedures; perform audits of policy and protocols. Work with the Major General to ensure the values and guidelines of the department are complimenting the entire Justice Department. Selecting new Colonels as positions require fulfillment.
Provide quality support for games they are assigned to.
Colonel JA
Responsible for performing the assigned duties and tasks required of the JA Courtyard department.
Provide quality support for games they are assigned to. (Max of 3 games)
If a JA holds a sub rank then their Max game support will be 2 so as not to interfere with the daily activities demanded by the position of JA.
JA Common Policy and Procedure
The JA's will only be involved in extreme cases. For the day-to-day punishments, it will be the GAME LEADER's discretion as to what gets punished, etc. The JA has the authority to step in if need be, and can also regulate our upper rank, however we must give GAME LEADERS & ADMINS leeway to handle business on their own if possible, and only come to JA as last resort.
Judge Advocate Department Involvement
Extreme issues for regular members that the Major/GM/Admin Support feels they cannot handle properly themselves.
An issue with a GM/Major, HG/Captain or anyone else above field rank ASSUMING the Admin Support of that section can not handle the issue himself.
Administrators
Any issue from warning points, dishonorable discharge or appeals for Administrators will not be handled by the Justice Department. Instead these cases are handled strictly by the Generals.
How it works:
Only Game Leaders and ADMIN can submit a punishment to the Inner Sanctum. However, Grand Masters and Majors are only allowed to submit tickets with a point value of 6 or lower. Actual forum permissions have been edited to reflect this change. If the amount of points issued results in a probation or dishonorable discharge from Warrior Nation, the Admin Support of the offenders primary game must post the Inner Sanctum request. This change speeds up the process as well as promotes more communication between game leaders and the administrators that support them.
*ANYONE* can initiate an appeal as long as they have been a member for 30 days or more.
An appeal must be submitted within 7 days of the offense to be accepted.
Appeals should include as much information as possible. Clearly state everything that happened, include witnesses names to be questioned. Links, screenshots, logs are vital to helping you win an appeal.
The Judge Advocates will review all evidence and may question all witnesses. Once the review is completed the Judge Advocates will cast a poll and vote as to whether you are innocent or guilty.
If you are found innocent all charges will be reversed.
If you are found guilty, the JA's will review whether the requested punishment is acceptable. The JA's have a right to increase or decrease the original punishment. If no original punishment was set, the JA's will decide your initial punishment.
Once your appeal is completed, you may not appeal again for a period of 6 months.
If a member is granted a return via appeal he/she may NOT hold any tagged rank or apply for any tag for a period of 90 days from the day of return. This does not include field ranks I.E Sergeant Major/Paladin
(Effective July 1st '08- Any member returning from a discharge before this date will not be included in this policy)
Periodically 5 Star Generals will review random appeals. If they so decide, they may veto the ruling. In doing so all 5 Star Generals must vote majority.
If people initiate trials over stupid things, then they themselves will be reprimanded. This is only to be used as a last line to stop problems.
Note that the council is only to be used in extreme circumstances. if its being used to frequently, then this means that the game leaders are failing in their positions
*NOTE that unless an official trial is initiated, that the Judge Advocates have NO SAY over punishment or who is guilty, innocent, etc. - the punishment and dealing with problems falls upon the GAME LEADERS of the section. |
