    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 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 Wintreath Citizen 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 not to exceed the limit set upon the Defendant by the Judicial Offices Act, Section 3.1. If the plaintiff has a lawyer as defined in Section 5, then this section shall apply to the  lawyer instead.
    Peers may vote Aye, Nay or Abstain from voting.

    Not for lack of merit, but because I have no interest in subsequently passing another act to revise it. Acts that are intended solely to correct errors in previous acts waste valuable time that the Storting could be putting to better use, and so we should be trying our hardest to prevent them from becoming necessary.

    For instance, there is a period missing in section 1.  The numerous discrepancies regarding capitalization (eg. "citizen," "defendant") warrant attention as well. Additionally, shouldn't "Wintreath citizen" just be "Wintrean" or "citizen of Wintreath?" Correct errors such as these, and the bill will receive an "Aye" from me the next time it comes through the Overhusen.
