    The Administration of Justice Amendment Act

    1) This Act shall be cited as the Administration of Justice Act

    2) Article I, Section 1 of the Fundamental Laws of Wintreath shall be amended as follows:

    Quote
    1. The legislative authorities and duties of Wintreath shall be vested in a bicameral legislature called the Storting, which shall consist of a lower chamber called the Underhusen and an upper chamber called the Overhusen.

    3) Article III of the Fundamental Laws of Wintreath shall be amended as follows:

    Quote
    The Lagmand Rådet
    1. The judicial powers and duties of Wintreath shall reside with a council of judges called The Lagmand Rådet.

    2. The Lagmand Rådet shall be comprised of any number of Lagmen who have applied for the position and been accepted by a majority of the both chambers of the Storting as well as the Monarch. Lagmen must have been Citizens of Wintreath for the last four months and must have been a current or past member of the Storting.

    3. The Storting shall have the authority to determine any procedures for approval of Lagmen in line with the specifications of this Article.

    4. Lagmen shall be removed from the Lagmand Rådet if they fail to meet any of the criteria listed in Section 2, or if a petition for their removal is passed by both chambers of the Storting and approved by the Monarch.

    Selection of Lagmen
    5. Upon the filing of each case, the Monarch shall select three Lagmen to serve as judges at random, utilizing a method approved by the Storting. Lagmen who have been named as the petitioner, respondent, plaintiff, or defendant to the case shall be ineligible to serve on the case and shall be skipped over if selected.

    6. In the event that a Lagman has been absent for five days, has been removed from the Lagmand Rådet in accordance with Section 2, or recuses themself from the case, the Monarch shall select another Lagman under the specifications listed in Article 4.

    7. The presiding Lagman shall be the judge on the case that was selected earliest.

    Case Procedures
    8. All trials and cases shall proceed along the procedures established by the Storting.
    As this is an amendment to the Fundamental laws, it requires a two-thirds supermajority.
    Skrifa may either vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.
