Holy shit, Weissreich! That has to be one of the most impressive pieces of legislation I've seen anywhere in NS. I feel like you took the uniqueness of our system from the Fundamental Laws and took it to the next level. That being said, I do have a few questions:
2.3 At no point may a Peer or a Skifra of the Storting hold more than one judicial position at any one time.
The odds of this happening are low, but what if we have more cases than Storting members to fill them? For example, we would have an issue if there were three cases at the same time during this term, because there are only 5 Skfria and you need 2 per case. Perhaps it should specify that this should be the case unless there are no remaining Peers or Skrifa that are not in a judicial position already.
3.1 Any Judge may call up to three witnesses on a given day to provide evidence on a case. A defendant can also request up to 3 witnesses in their defence on a given day.
Out of curiosity, why three a day? Is there a reason behind this number? Also, along with 4.3, does that mean that once summoned a witness has to post their reply that day, or can they do it later even though the Court has moved on to another 6 people? I don't necessarily have any issues with this. I'm just a little confused as to how it would work.
4.3 During the proceedings, a Court Official who calls a witness must pose their questions within the same post they summon that witness. A witness then has one post to provide their responses to the questions put to them. At any time, a Court Official may post a question(s) for the defendant so long as no other questions for the defendant are unanswered and so long as no witness has questions left to answer.
Another question...what if after a witness answered questions, it led to more questions? Would that witness need to be summoned again? And if so, if it were done on the same day, would that count as 2 of the 3 witnesses a Judge/defendant can call in a day?
Just a few questions and minor things more than anything...overall, the Act is awesome! You did a great job on this.
