Title
1. This shall be titled the Acceptance of Cases, Allowance of Amicus Curiae Filing, and Additional Court Procedures Act.

Procedure for the Acceptance of Court Cases
2. Any citizen of Wintreath may file a petition with the Storting for a trial within the Judicial System of Wintreath. The petition is to include the included individuals, the violated law, and anything else that the citizen filing wishes to add or deems necessary.

3. Upon filing a petition the Storting shall vote on whether or not to hear the case. Should the vote pass with a simple-majority then the Judicial Offices Act and the relevant sections of this law shall apply. The Storting itself may also vote to hear a case with a Proviso.

Filing of Amicus Curiae
4. Any citizen of Wintreath may file an Amicus Curiae with the Court containing their opinions on the case. The court shall consider this when deciding the case.

Additional Court Procedures
5. A person may file on behalf of another, as long as they are acting as lawyer for that person. A person may also act as the defendant's lawyer if they have the agreement of the defendant and they wish to do so. As such during the trial any party that has a lawyer may be called as witness. Further should a lawyer stop acting as a one they must make a public post, after which the court may dismiss the case until the party finds a new lawyer or they may continue. This is to be done by a vote between the Judges.

6. The person whom has filed the request shall be allowed to speak, ask questions to witnesses, or call a witness during the trial. If they have a lawyer then Section 5 of this law shall apply to the lawyer instead.

I bring to the attention of the Underhusen the edited version of the previous act by Chanku , if you have any criticisms or your own edits/ideas let's hear them. I would like to try to get this perfect and though as soon as possible

Given that we had discussed this previously, I have nothing to add.

Also note that I have made some edits.

I motion to vote.

@Laurentus @Emoticonius @HannahB @tatte @Aragonn you might wanna hurry this up. The end of the session is in a few weeks.

I second the motion to vote.

Well @Laurentus you might want to get a move on. Let's get this thing passed (again.)
