Judicial System(Debate)
Section 1: Due Process

Defenition:
Detention shall consist in punishing an individual in banning the user, reducing his daily posts and visits; or any other action that limits an individual's rights.

Article 1
No individual shall be detained; except when he is a clear danger to the commonwealth.

Article 2
The individual shall always be given the reason for his detention and all costs of his defence shall be paid by the government if the individual cannot afford it.

Article 3
An individual may only be trialed if the judge overseeing the case decides there is a strong enough case for the trail. An indvidual may not be trialed for the same offence more than once.

Article 4
All individuals and parties in the Commonwealth are allowed to prosecute any other individual or party and unless the judge deems the case to be too weak, the prosecuting parting has the right to complete the trial.

Article 5
No individual shall have immunity of any kind from the law.

Section 2: Legal Procedure

Article 1
The prosecution shall present the basics of its case to a judge, who shall be selected randomly and if the case is strong enough, the individual or party being prosecuted shall be issued a subpoena to appear before the court.

Article 2
The defendant shall either plead guilty or not guilty to one or all charges.

Article 3
If the defence pleads not guilty then the defence shall answer to the prosecutor's charges. Both the defence and prosecution may present their points and rebutalls for a reasonable amount of time.

Article 4
The judge shall subsequently decide on the verdict for all charges and shall give the sentence or fine if applicable.

Article 5
The losing party may appeal; in which case the case will be seen by a randomly selected jury who are not involved in the case in anyway. The jury's verdict will be final.

Re: Judicial System(Debate)
hmm not bad although
"The individual shall always be given the reason for his detention and all costs of his defence shall be paid by the government if the individual cannot afford it."

Isn't it the habit in micronations to defend yourself  >D i find lawyers totally obsolete. Especially if the government has to pay for it, wasted money.

other than that,it seems fine, but i want this to be debated very thoroughly. I'd also like some input from outside trián, because we aren't very experienced in the judicial branch.

I suggest not asking from people outside because often they are too complex and formal; better suited for larger nations. We just need simple judgement system.

I agree with self law. Then maybe we have to make sure government provides well archived law book. In site form preferably.
